Description

Thank you for coming!
【Description】
This antique set consists of a hat and a fan used by Shinto priests in Japan, complete with a dedicated storage box. The hat dates back to 1944 and was worn by a priest in Okayama Prefecture. Remarkably, the design of this hat remains unchanged for over 1000 years. In ancient Japan, exposing one's hair was considered as shameful as revealing nakedness, and thus, covering one's head was a matter of etiquette, especially in the presence of superiors. This tradition extended to interactions with deities, where it was deemed disrespectful not to cover one's head when serving them.
Despite showing signs of wear due to its age, this antique collection offers a fascinating glimpse into Japan's unique cultural heritage. Please examine the images closely to appreciate the intricate details and historical significance of this remarkable piece.
