In Kendo, they wear a tenugui (hand towel) wrapped around their heads. The practice dates back to the Edo period, I don't know if they wore something similar prior to that.   I wore one for a while, but it kept slipping down over my eyes, so now I just use a normal bandana tied in the back. |

In heavy I always wore the tenugui - it kept the sweat outta my eyes well!
In rapier, I have a coif instead....

On a side note, I happened to have found and purchased an antique copy of the Tanki-Yoriaku recently, it has all the original Japanese text and images, I will scan and post a copy of all the pages. |
