Solely "Good Things"
A Commitment to Pursuing the Finest Kabuto
Born in Asakusa, Tokyo, in 1954. In 1972, he apprenticed under his father, the second generation Jitsusei, and in 1983, he succeeded to the name of the third generation Bessho Jitsusei.
In 1993, he repaired the metal fittings of the long chest stored at Kawagoe Kita-in Temple.
Since then, he has produced and announced numerous works, including the "Dōmaru Gusoku with Three Kuwagata Maedate Kabuto," Tokugawa Ieyasu's "Daikokuten Nuno-boshi Kabuto," Toyotomi Hideyoshi's "Kuro-urushi Maran no Kabuto," and Kuroda Nagamasa's "Kuro Ryōginpaku-oshi no Kabuto."
In 2009, he expanded his range of activities by meticulously replicating Saito Sanemori's kabuto, a treasure of Tadatasha Shrine in Komatsu City, Ishikawa Prefecture.
Even parts such as the kabuto bowl and small metal fittings, which are now mainly produced by machines, are all handmade by Jitsusei.
We believe that handmade craftsmanship has a unique charm, both in the past and present.
Even slight imperfections, not perfectly straight, give the kabuto the flavor of the era when it was used and the unique touch of handmade work.
We visit museums, examine actual kabuto with our own eyes, and consider how they were made before creating our own.
As an armor craftsman, we are committed to continuously creating "items that satisfy our customers" and "the best possible items that I can make."
"Momoe-zashi" (Hundred Layers Stitching): Just like authentic armor, a spirally sewn cloth is attached to the back of the bowl by hand.
An original Made In Japan work is completed.
We are committed to producing Japanese-made Sekku dolls, which are amulets for each child, and create them through detailed discussions with artisans, one by one.
We strive to improve quality so that they can be displayed for a long time, wishing for the healthy growth of your children.
