Vintage Japanese Jingasa Hat
Japanese light weight military hat worn by Samurai, and soldiers. Made from layers of paper glued together, and then lacquered to waterproof, and hold the shape. This one is brown, with hand painted symbols, including a gold symbol in front. This is the samurai Family Kamon (symbol), or the "Mon" of the Daimyo he serves. No liner. Some cracks to the lacquer, nothing serious.
