This miniature kabuto was modeled after the helmet of Kusunoki Masashige (1294 - 1336). He was a Japanese samurai who fought for Emperor Go-Daigo in the Genkō War. During the Meiji and Taisho periods in the 19th and early 20th centuries, he was stylized as a national hero who sacrificed himself for the emperor in a hopeless situation.
