Samurai Hats

[utsutsu]

Recently, i've reading a very popular samurai comic called "lone wolf & cub". I've seen many samurais weared some type of bambo hat, wich has some type of conical shape, with a little hole in the front... i see it in many movies, they look awesome and i don't know how they are named... i've tryed doing google searchs but nothing.

Anyone can suggest some names? there should be like 3 o 4 types of this i guess.

Hi!

They are called Jingasa. There are several different shapes of them, too.

Here are some links to authentic Jingasa:

And, if you can read French, this site is very informative and shows several different types of Jingasa.

This is the hat I want! :). It's made from wood, I don't know the type and maybe it is not the Jingasa.

Anyways thank you very much!
