追加情報                                Additional Information

Kabuto are often adorned with crests called “Datemono” or “Tatemono”; the four types of decorations were the “Maedate” (frontal decoration), “Wakidate” (side decorations), “Kashiradate” (top decoration), and “Ushirodate” (rear decoration)

These can be family crests (mon), or flat or sculptural objects representing animals, mythical entities, prayers or other symbols. Horns are particularly common, and many kabuto incorporate”Kuwagata”, stylized deer horns
