What's so special about Japanese samurai hats? Why are some gorgeous and some simple?

Japanese samurai hats, like Japanese samurai clothes, are also divided into leisure samurai hats and military samurai hats.

Casual warrior hats are mainly divided into straight Eboshi and folding Eboshi, both of which are black (probably the kind that looks simpler in the title). In the early stage of historical development, these two kinds of hats were made of tulle silk, but in the later stage, the raw materials began to use paper. After mass production, coating black paint on the surface not only plays a solid role in waterproof, beautiful, wear-resistant and durability, but also reflects the status of the wearer.

In the era of Dajia, the front stand is the most common and popular, and the most prominent one is the shovel shape, which has many kinds. At first, it was long and narrow. It was installed on a shovel-shaped seat with hollow and finely carved patterns. Then the base was developed and changed into the shape of a beast's head, and it was called a lion's bite. Guvencin was owned by almost all helmets at that time. It exaggerated the size of the blowback and carved many golden flower ornaments.
