Also written “–’Š•. Contemporary helmet. A type of Japanese helmet based on "southern barbarian" *nanban “μ”Ψ styles along with other armor (tousei gusoku “–’‹ο‘«) in the late Muromachi period. Types include: nari Œ` (figured) kabuto in such shapes as peach, chinquapin and trumpet shell; harikake ’£Œœ (papier-meche attached) kabuto in such shapes as catfish tail, goushi ‡Žq (small lidded container), Mt. Fuji •xŽm and Ichinotani ˆκƒm’J slope; and practical ones like Hinenozu-nari “ϊͺ–μ“ͺŒ` and Etchuuzu-nari ‰z’†“ͺŒ`. To meet the decorative challenge of touseikabuto, more stars were added to the traditional hoshi ― (star) helmet popular from the late Heian to Nanbokuchou periods, and suji ‹Ψ (lined) helmet popular from the Nanbokuchou to the Muromachi periods. By the mid Edo period, unconventional styles like harikake kabuto declined in quality.
