Kendo - 1960 - Sport helmet

Description: Offered: a beautiful, authentic Japanese Kendo mask (Men) from the previous century (estimated: 60s/70s). This mask has a splendid, well-worn look and exudes the atmosphere of traditional Japanese martial arts (Budo). An absolute centerpiece for the collector, enthusiasts of Japanese culture, or as a unique focal point in a modern or industrial interior. Special features & details: • Authentic & handmade: The blue fabric protective flaps (men-futon) are stitched by hand with traditional sashiko and dyed with natural indigo (aizome), resulting in a beautiful, subtle fading. • Historical context: On the inside, the original fabric name label remains with the handwritten surname of the first owner: 黒田 (Kuroda). • Characteristic patina: The robust metal latticework (mengane) is made of brass/copper alloy and has developed a beautiful, natural patina over the years. The edges are finished with traditional leather. • Condition: The mask is in an authentic, vintage state with natural signs of aging (see photos). It is precisely this 'wabi-sabi' aesthetic (the beauty of imperfection and impermanence) that gives the object its unique character.
