The term "Kabuto" has its roots in the Japanese language and refers to a type of helmet traditionally worn by samurai warriors in feudal Japan. It was a crucial piece of armour designed to protect the head from injury during combat.
The Kabuto typically consisted of a metal bowl-shaped shell, often adorned with intricate designs and decorations. Some Kabuto had distinctive features like horns, crests, or masks, which could signify the rank, status, or clan affiliation of the wearer.
Over time, the Kabuto evolved and varied in style and construction, reflecting changes in warfare and fashion. While no longer used in actual combat, the Kabuto remains a significant symbol of Japanese history and culture.
