Описание: Complete Restoration of a Samurai's Kabuto Helmet Lost at Sekigahara Battlefield Since 1600 AD

Lost for over 400 years in the mineral-rich soil of the Sekigahara battlefield, this 17th-century 62-plate Sujibachi Kabuto was once a masterpiece of Momoyama-period craftsmanship. In this video, we document the exhaustive journey of its resurrection—transforming a heavily corroded, soil-encrusted relic into a museum-quality masterpiece.

Watch as we utilize a blend of modern precision and ancient tradition to honor the samurai spirit.

Restoration Highlights:
Mechanical Cleaning: Precision removal of 400 years of oxidation and mineralization using ultrasonic scalpels and fine-grit rotary tools.

Chemical Stabilization: Desalination baths to prevent further iron decay.

Traditional Lacquering: Multiple layers of hand-applied black Urushi lacquer, cured in a high-humidity furo chamber.

The Golden Crest: Restoring the brass Maedate (crescent moon) with 24k gold leaf gilding.

The Art of Lacing: Meticulous Kebiki-odoshi (full-lacing) using hand-dyed navy blue (kon-ito) silk braids.

Authentic Interior: Hand-stitching a period-accurate hemp and silk Ukebari lining.
