- Lot Description
East Asia, Japan, Edo to Meiji period, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. A black, lacquered wood jingasa or camp hat of a shallow circular form with a gold-hued family crest on the brim. The interior presents a central concave area for the wearer's head, with a padded cloth lining. Jingasa hats were worn by Japanese warriors during travel or encampment. Being lacquered, this jingasa was especially convenient as it was both waterproof and lightweight. During the Edo period, jingasa became more decorative, just like other samurai items, as they were increasingly used for display during sankin kotai. Size: 16" Diameter x 3.5" H (40.6 cm x 8.9 cm)
Sankin kotai, known as "alternate attendance," was developed during the Warring States period as a system to strengthen the Tokugawa shogunate's control over the feudal lords known as daimyos. The daimyo would alternate between residing in the shogun's castle in Edo and his own fief, usually on a yearly basis. However, while the daimyo may return to his home fief, his family was required to remain in Edo with the Shogun, essentially as hostages to ensure loyalty while the daimyo was away. When traveling to Edo the daimyo was accompanied by samurai and jingasa hats were worn during travel or encampment as a protective helmet. Being lacquered, this jingasa was especially convenient as it was both waterproof and lightweight. During the Edo period, jingasa became more decorative for these sankin kotai processions.
