I'm a little bit confused on the style of eboshi a warrior from early Kamakura era, say around 1200 would wear. I have been wearing mine laid straight back for the most part. I believe I have seen a style where the eboshi is upright and folded half way up, and the top part hangs down sideways and is tied. Would this be appropriate? While this is not the samurai eboshi or ori eboshi (I'm assuming) would this work as one? I'd like to wear my eboshi a bit different for special occasions than to lay it back

Unrelated to the question, but I liked the thread title, here is an interesting page about a few different styles of eboshi worn by modern Shinto priests: philippi-collection.blogspot.com/2012/05/tenrikyo-and-konkokyo-eboshi.htmlI am particularly enamored of the eboshi that have been embroidered.  Not really appropriate for me, but perhaps something similar for others I know.  Tenrikyo is far too modern to make this appropriate for SCA use without further support, unfortunately. More from this source: |

I was recently asked to make something to be a Japanese-appropriate replacement for a Baronial coronet. I would have loved to make a lacquered tate eboshi or kanmuri, but I'm still at least a couple of years away from being able to really do that. I decided to make a mesh fabric tate eboshi from silk, and use the decorative stitching I've seen on some eboshi to mount the Baronial pearls. I'm not entirely happy with the profile, but it's OK. I was pleased with how well the stitching pattern worked for the pearls. Excepting the pearls, the eboshi is entirely silk: silk broadcloth band, silk mesh upper, silk hand stitching all around, silk yarn for the decorative stitching. The silk mesh is treated with kakishibu (fermented persimmon juice) to stiffen it. This treated mesh was given to me by the eboshi workshop I visited in Toyama, Japan, and I've been so far unsuccessful in tracking some down here in the US. I haven't even been able to buy kakishibu yet. |

I haven't even been able to buy kakishibu yet. Someone gave me a bolt of ro (or is it sha?) for a summer funeral obi and I've made an eboshi with that. In other news, I've just been saddled with a Royal Gotcha and I think should stand pat on my refusal to Create an Anachronism just because Someone decided to say thank you with a Court Barony. Honestly, if it doesn't come with enough arable land to feed an entourage, I don't see why I have to wear a Silly Hat(TM).  |

Try this site; www.kakishibui.com/products.htmlI corresponded with Ms. Conrad back in the fall, but we were having communications issues. That does appear to be the only place in North America that carries kakishibu reliably, though. Every other place says they carry it, but it's always "out of stock". |

Hey, I ran this mesh through my scanner and sure enough it is a sha weave. Well, congratulations, anyway, Your Excellency. I suppose I should stick by the advice I gave in this forum some time back. The title gives you the right to wear particular regalia, but not the obligation. For a woman, if you didn't want to wear one of the (yes, very silly) women's kanmuri, maybe apply pearls to your sage-gami hair tie, or some kind of pearled kanzashi? |
