Description

Momonari Hachi Kabuto (peach-shaped helmet) is inspired by helmets worn by European during the Momoyama Period (1575 – 1615). With the introduction of the teppo (muskets), brought to Japan by the Portuguese and Spanish, a new form of warfare emerged.  Adapting to the change, katchû-shi (armor craftsmen) combined European armor design, with traditional Japanese armor crafting, creating the Momonari Kabuto. This new design made a more robust kabuto capable of deflecting musket fire while on the battlefield.  The Momonari Kabuto became well known for its abilities on the battlefield during the “Campaign of Korea” (1592-98) on Kyushu Island.

The “Gashira class” katchû-shi (armor craftsmen) at Iron Mountain Armory craft this gendai (modern) Momonari Hachi Kabuto from a single steel plate, simulating 2 plates joined together. This creates the traditional “peach shaped” kabuto look at a more economical price. You can order this kabuto with your preference of mengu (facial armor), menpo (half face with nose – pictured) with various mustache styles or hanbo (lower face). Although not common, we offer the option of adding byo (rivets) to our Momonari Hachi Kabuto to add extra character and customization ability, making your kabuto more unique to you. This then creates a Byo Momonari Hachi Kabuto as seen pictured with a tengu menpo nose. 

Features:  Gashira Class Momonari Hachi Kabuto

  • Variation of paint, cotton odoshi colors and mengu designs.
  • Full sized and fully functional.
  • Includes portable stand.
Our skilled katchû-shi (armorers) at the Iron Mountain Armory will need at least 2 to 4 weeks, depending on options selected, and other scheduled orders, for the custom handcrafting of your reproduction samurai item.
For more information, please review our Order Options Explained, Glossary Terms or FAQ Pages. You can also Contact Us directly. We are always happy to be of service.

  1. The quality of customer service was met equally by the quality of their craftsmanship. The pictures do not do this momonari justice. Very well shaped, assembled and fitted. It looks stunning on display in my office and my clients are always admiring it when they step into my office. I tell them it is represents my warrior spirit which goes into representing them.
    All around solid 5 stars!
