MYOCHIN MUNENORI: AN EXCEPTIONAL IRON KAWARI KABUTO IN THE FORM OF A TENGU, DATED 1834By Myochin Munenori, signed Myochin Munenori with kakihan Japan, dated 1834Forged in iron and finished in a rich russet brown patina, constructed of five plates riveted together forming a broad helmet bowl with a low profile, the front hammered up and carved to form the elaborate beak and face of a tengu, the eyebrows boldly carved in swirling whorls and the nostrils pierced for ventilation, the top of the bowl with a tokin cap, the interior of the beak lacquered red. The outer edge pierced to mount the shikoro. The hachi signed to the interior MYOCHIN MUNENORI with a kakihan [artist’s cursive monogram] and dated Tenpo go kinoe-uma nigatsu [In the 2nd month, of Tenpo 5th year, the year of kanoe-uma (1834)].HEIGHT 19.5 cm, LENGTH 30.5 cmWEIGHT 1,202 gCondition: Very good condition with minor wear and expected corrosion. Minor losses to the lower edge of the kabuto. Remnants of gilt to the pupils.Kawari kabuto (lit. “transformed helmet”) refers to strange or eccentric helmets. During the Momoyama period of intense civil warfare, kabuto were made to a simpler design lacking many of the ornamental features of earlier helmets. To offset the plain, utilitarian form of the new helmet, and to provide visibility and presence on the battlefield, armorers began to build fantastic shapes on top of the simple helmets in harikake (papier-maché mixed with lacquer over a wooden armature), though some were constructed entirely of iron. These shapes mimicked forms from Japanese culture and mythology, including fish, cow horns, the head of the god of longevity, bolts of silk, head scarves, Ichi-no-Tani canyon, and axe heads, among many others. Some forms were realistically rendered, while others took on a very futuristic, modernist feel.Auction comparison:Compare with a related kawari kabuto by Myochin Muneyasu, dated 1789, at Bonhams, Arts of the Samurai, 16 October 2012, New York, lot 1016 (sold for 37,500 USD). Compare a kawari kabuto in the form of a tengu wearing a tokin cap, dated 19th century, at Bonhams, Arts of the Samurai, 27 October 2014, New York, lot 1035 (sold for USD 31,250).
