The Ensui Jingasa (Conical Battle Hat) started to become popular amongst Ashigaru at the end of the Sengoku Jidai into the early Edo Era. Traditionally a defensive helmet, they were allegedly first crafted from wood, leather, nerigawa, then iron and later steel, progressively getting better as the Ashigaru grew in popularity on the battlefield. Almost always conical in shape, the Jingasa would deflect the blows of weapons out and away from the ashigaru wearing it.
