Old original Jingasa Samurai Helmet with gold makie family crest.
An Edo period jingasa adorned with the family crest.
The family crest is Togari Hanabishi Mon 尖り花菱紋 (Pointed diamond family crest).

Jingasa:
It is worn to protect the head as a substitute for a helmet and has a flat conical shape. The material is wood, and the surface is coated with lacquered gold plating.

"Jingasa" is a hat that foot soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers used in the camp from the Muromachi period onwards. It was worn to protect the head as a substitute for a helmet.

Jingasa were made of thin iron, leather, paper, and similar materials, with lacquer applied to the surface. In later times, lacquered hats with upturned edges were used for the outings of samurai. Over time, they evolved into items that incorporated artistic designs and materials reflecting social status and class.

During the Edo period, they were often black lacquered with the family crest in gold, and were used by the shogun and his vassals for outdoor activities.
