Command Respect with Noble Samurai Heritage

The Eboshi Nari Bachi Kabuto is an exquisite Taisho-quality kabuto (samurai helmet) inspired by the traditional eboshi, a formal headdress historically worn by Japan’s noble samurai class. In samurai society, the height of an eboshi signified the rank and status of its wearer, with the tallest, the naga eboshi, reserved exclusively for high-ranking aristocrats and powerful samurai leaders. Reflecting this tradition, the distinguished design of the Eboshi Nari Bachi Kabuto symbolizes strength, authority, and nobility, making it a fitting armor piece for mid- to high-ranking samurai warriors.

Handcrafted meticulously by our skilled Taisho-class armorers at Iron Mountain Armory, this kabuto is traditionally constructed with three hand-cut and riveted steel plates forming the distinctive hachi (helmet bowl). Each component, from the elegantly shaped helmet bowl to the carefully designed shikoro (neck guard), is crafted with precision and attention to detail. The Hineno-Jikoro Kirituke Iyozane design featured in this kabuto is both historically accurate and aesthetically impressive, ensuring both protective capability and striking visual impact on the battlefield or in display.

Customize your Eboshi Nari Bachi Kabuto further by selecting your preferred style of mengu (facial armor)—choose from menpo (half-face armor with nose) or hanbo (lower-face armor)—as well as your choice of paint finish and luxurious art silk odoshi (lacing) colors. This exceptional helmet, when paired with its custom options, embodies the spirit of the elite samurai and honors your modern warrior ethos.

Whether you’re a historical reenactor, martial artist, samurai enthusiast, or collector, this traditional kabuto is a timeless piece that conveys prestige and warrior pride. Showcase your strength, honor, and noble heritage by proudly displaying or wearing the Eboshi Nari Bachi Kabuto.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Traditional three-plate handcrafted design
  • Customizable options for paint, art silk odoshi colors, and mengu styles
  • Full-sized, historically accurate, and fully functional
  • Represents noble samurai status and warrior spirit
  • Includes Deluxe Stand for elegant display
