In the world of sport, few moments transcend the game. In 2023, One Japanese mejor league base ball player — a once-in-a-generation talent — stepped to the plate not only as a baseball icon, but as a symbol of unwavering discipline. His home run celebrations became globally recognized, crowned by the bold gesture of donning a traditional Samurai kabuto.
This is the exact model of that kabuto — not a replica, but a genuine piece of armor, handcrafted by Marutake, Japan’s most revered armor atelier. Known for preserving centuries-old techniques, Marutake’s artisans have created a helmet that is not only wearable, but worthy of display in any fine collection of historical or cultural artifacts.
Key Features:
Material: Forged from pure iron — absolutely no plastic — offering true weight (approx. 2kg) and durability.
Craftsmanship: Intricate gold-accented details, including a fearsome dragon maedate and lacquered components, evoke the armor of high-ranking Daimyō.
Provenance: Crafted in Japan by nationally recognized armor makers who serve museums, film studios, and connoisseurs worldwide.
Because of its artisanal construction, this kabuto typically requires months of lead time. However, we have secured one piece in stock — available for immediate delivery to discerning collectors.
