Date | On each side of the helmet is placed an ear like clam shell in gold. The inside is also gold foiled. |
Comment | Clam shell's mouth is very difficult to open, as it is known for not opening their mouth. The helmet with this shell facing outside, represents samurai's strong will to fight even the most difficult battle until they open their victory road. |
