A Warrior's Spirit, Captured in Exquisite Detail
Created under the supervision of acclaimed costume designer Emi Wada — renowned for her Academy Award-winning work on Akira Kurosawa's Ran and her collaborations on HERO, LOVERS, and Samurai Marathon — this kabuto helmet display is an original Kyugetsu creation titled "The King." Meticulously crafted by Dento Kogei-shi (Traditional Craftsman) Munemitsu Nakamura, every element reflects Wada's bold aesthetic vision and centuries of Japanese armor-making heritage.
The Art of the Kabuto
A striking gold-plated maedate (front crest) in the eclectic Tosei-Gusoku (当世具足) style of the Azuchi-Momoyama period — bold, theatrical, and unmistakably Wada
The signature red and black colorway — a hallmark of Emi Wada's design sensibility, commanding attention from every angle
An elegant folding screen inspired by Ito Jakuchu's iconic carp painting serves as a stunning backdrop, harmonizing traditional Japanese art with samurai grandeur
