japanese helmet stuffings

[grandnagus]

I am aware a Japanese helmet liners being dtuffed with the most common pillows. Somtimes a thick felt material. And I have one with straw. Did they use any other type of material I have not mentioned? Are there any good books or websites dealing with Japanese helmets?

Cotton & pig hair probably other animal hair (horse) as well.... There is a really good thread going on right now on this http://www.walhalla.se/ forum. Go down to the Japanese & Italian section.
