The Okitenugui Nari Saiga Kabuto is a rare and sophisticated kabuto (helmet), handcrafted by the senior Taisho-class katchū-shi at Iron Mountain Armory. Revered for its artistry and historical lineage, this Edo-era design is based on a prized original from the Robert Winter Collection of New York, a subset of the esteemed Osian’s Collection.
Crafted in the form of a folded tenugui (hand towel), this okitenugui nari helmet reflects the craftsmanship and creative spirit of the Saiga school (also spelled Saika)—a legendary group of independent warrior-smiths from Kii Province (modern-day Wakayama). Known as the “masterless clan,” the Saiga were skilled armorers and warriors, respected even by daimyō and taishō for their rebellious strength and remarkable armor.
The hachi (helmet bowl) is shaped from a single iron plate, preserving the clean, strong lines of the original. This type of construction was often left in a natural russet finish to showcase the purity and strength of the steel, signifying the wearer’s rank and taste. The surface is adorned with elegant kirigane butterfly ornaments, adding a refined contrast of detail and symmetry.
Rare and prestigious, this helmet design was typically reserved for high-ranking samurai, generals, and daimyō. Its simplicity in form yet richness in detail embodies both restraint and status, making it an exquisite centerpiece for any collection or elite reenactment ensemble.
Taisho-Class Elite Craftsmanship: Forged by senior armorers to exacting historical standards.
Single-Plate Construction: Traditional top plate design mimics a folded tenugui towel.
Saiga School Design: Reproduced from a rare Edo-period example found in the Robert Winter Collection.
Kirigane Butterfly Ornaments: Decorative applications honoring the Saiga aesthetic.
Prestige and Rarity: Favored by daimyō, taishō, and high-ranking warriors.
Includes Deluxe Display Stand: Perfect for presentation in any fine collection.
Each Okitenugui Nari Saiga Kabuto is handcrafted at the time of order. Please allow 1 to 2 weeks for careful processing and crafting before shipment.
