The Eboshi-no-Kabuto (烏帽子[の]兜, "Eboshi Helmet"), also known as Naga-Eboshi-no-Kabuto ("Long Eboshi"), is a helmet from Japan.
Description: The Eboshi Kabuto is made of steel, leather, or wood. There are different forms of this helmet, one being a flat cap worn as padding underneath the main Kabuto. The other form is the one described here, which takes its inspiration from the Eboshi, a hat worn by courtiers or Shinto priests.
The Eboshi Kabuto consists of a steel inner helmet onto which the Eboshi attachment made of leather or wood is placed and secured. The leather or wood is lacquered and often adorned with pictorial lacquerwork.
The daimyo Katō Kiyomasa (1562–1611) famously wore an Eboshi Kabuto, which can be seen in many paintings and monuments depicting him. He wore a sun as the Maedate (crest) and below it a horizontally positioned crescent moon.
