Tokugawa Ieyasu Helmet Incense Holder

Shogun armor kabuto incense burner

Sometimes the armor of the samurai was truly spectacular: go to any big Japanese museum and you can see some amazing examples of craftsmanship, imagination, and splendor, especially when it came to their kabuto helmets. One of the most recognizable suits of armor in Japan is the shida gusoku fern crest armor worn by Tokugawa Ieyasu, wore at the Battle of Sekigahara, the event that made him a shogun and gave his house power over the country for 250 years. That kabuto has inspired the Tokugawa Ieyasu Helmet Incense Holder.

Despite its small size (only 20 x 22 x 19 mm / 0.8 x 0.9 x 0.7"), the Tokugawa Ieyasu Helmet Incense Holder features all the characteristics of the famous helmet worn by Japan's mightiest warlord. The fern wreath on the front, the hat-like dome, and the shikami beast on the forehead are all there sculpted on brass and with a 3 mm (0.1") hole in the center of the dome for your incense sticks, long or short. Make the era of Japan's feudal wars come alive every time you are enjoying your incense with this beautiful work of art.
