Fire helmet from Japan. The helmet was worn in the Japanese city of Nagasaki between 1935 and 1950, but its shape and texture already date back to the 18th century helmets. The helmet itself consists of a bobbin braid, above it a padded cotton cover. The helmet is very high. In front, the helmet bowl goes into an umbrella, behind the helmet ends without neck protection. The fabric cover over the helmet is composed of 6 segments which are covered in the middle by a metal fitting. The metal element "Sakura" shows 5 leaves. The cherry blossom is the traditional ornament of the fire brigade of Nagasaki, which is also in front of the badge. The neck protection cloth "Shikoro" is far larger than normal neck leather. It is even bigger than modern Holland towels. The neck protector is made of the same material as the helmet cover. It measures at the longest point 33cm, however, is slightly shorter in the front. At the front, the protection under the cut-out for the eyes is closed by two buttons. Buttonholes and the edges of the protector are padded with a fine fabric. The protection itself also consists of two halves, it is sewn around the helmet. The words on the small badge on the neck guard are called "Daigo Bundan", which means approximately the 5th branch / department. This could be a reference to the station number. There is no head adjustment or special equipment in the helmet. A cotton cord, which is bound under the chin, serves as a chin strap. The helmet was also worn in Korea at the same time. He stayed in the country when the Japanese occupiers withdrew from Korea in 1949. See helmets 375/407 |
