Description
Japanese Samurai Menpo from the Edo period around 1650. The Menpo is a facial armor piece worn by samurai to protect the face during battle. The fact that it comes from the Kokura Castle Museum in Kitakyushu adds to its historical significance.
Kokura Castle, located in Kitakyushu, is known for its rich history and cultural artifacts, including items from the samurai era. It’s not uncommon for museums to occasionally sell or auction items for financial reasons or to rotate their collections.
The Menpo’s weight of 490 grams suggests that it was likely made with durable materials, emphasizing both protection and functionality. Menpo designs can vary, featuring intricate details and craftsmanship. Given the rarity of such pieces, it’s a unique and valuable addition to any collection.
Owning a piece of Japanese history from the Edo period is indeed special.
