The Kaji Kabuto consists of iron and a kind of curtain or a brigantine . It belongs to the multi- plate helmets Suji Bashi Kabuto , Koboshi Bashi Kabuto and Hari Bashi Kabuto . The Kaji Kabuto was worn by samurai who, as supervisors, supervised the work of simple firefighters during a fire operation. The helmet shell protected from falling objects and the curtain or the brigantine protected the wearer's face from the fire.
