Japanese helmets or kabuto consist of a helmet bowl or hachi to which is attached a neck guard or shikoro. Early examples have an almost hemispherical bowl of about ten iron plates arranged like the gores of a cap. The edges of the plates were turned up to form a small flange covered by a gilt rim that added to the stiffness.
The Japanese word "kawari" can be translated in many ways: unusual, extraordinary, eccentric, strange. When we associate it with the Japanese word "kabuto" - helmet - all of these are true.
