Back in October, I was idly searching eBay for Japanese antiques, and I found a kanmuri<\/em> for sale at a very reasonable price. So, I bought it. This one is not as old or as nice as my other one, but it was less expensive and is in better shape. I won’t be as afraid to wear it or lend it to others. However, it should still have a better storage container than the corrugated cardboard box in which it was shipped to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made two separate boxes to hold the parts of the first kanmuri<\/a>. This was partially because of the shape of the tail, and because the body of the first kanmuri <\/em>does not break down into parts. This second one comes apart much better, so I could build a single flat box to hold the parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This kanmuri-bako<\/em> is a simple rectangular, lidded box. The top and bottom are thin birch-faced plywood, and the edges are maple scants. I put a couple of coats of shellac on the outside for protection, but I left the inside unfinished so that the wood can absorb and release moisture as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside, there is enough room that the pieces of the kanmuri <\/em>can be individually wrapped to protect them from rubbing. There is actually enough room inside that I am able to store some other formal accessories in there to keep everything together. I can fit a shaku<\/em> <\/a>in the bottom, my sekitai<\/a><\/em>, and my hirao<\/a><\/em>. There’s probably enough room to add my gyotai<\/em> <\/a>if I ever need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because I just realized that I never posted to my blog about the first kanmuri<\/em>, here is a picture of the assembled second kanmuri<\/em>. the tail removes easily. When you remove the horizontal pin, from the hat part, the upright tube can also be removed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
