About the Item
An uncommon Edo-period samurai jingasa, distinguished by its applied gilded crest decorations and rare gilded interior finish. Jingasa of this type were worn by samurai and retainers, functioning both as practical head protection and as an emblem of rank, identity, and affiliation.
The exterior is decorated with gilt crests (mon), lending a refined yet authoritative appearance. The interior is fully gilded, an especially striking and less frequently encountered feature, suggesting ceremonial or high-status use. The overall form is shallow and well-balanced, retaining a strong sculptural presence.
The hat remains in good original condition, showing expected surface abrasions and minor losses consistent with Edo-period age and use. These signs of wear contribute to the authenticity and historical character of the piece.
