Description

This vintage sandogasa (traveling hat) is a fine example of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Woven from bamboo, the wide-brimmed hat was designed to provide both sun and rain protection for samurai and travelers alike. The bamboo weaving displays remarkable detail and durability, exemplifying the practical artistry of the era.

An inscription on the top reads “宽太郎” (Kantaro), adding a personal and historical touch to the piece. Over time, the bamboo has developed a natural patina, enhancing its rustic charm. This sandogasa is not only a fascinating collectible but also a tangible link to Japan’s rich cultural and martial heritage.
