Mid-Edo Period Jingasa
This piece is a mid-Edo period jingasa, featuring the family crest of the Shimazu clan, the feudal lords of Satsuma in Kyushu. The item exhibits a hammered lacquer finish, adorned with a large decorative Hachiman seat and the family crest of a cross within a circle, along with metal fittings at the rear. The dimensions are approximately 38 cm in width and 34 cm in depth. This type of jingasa, used by high-ranking samurai of the daimyo class and with a history of about 250 years, has become increasingly difficult to acquire as a collectible in recent years.
