- 武家の女性が火事からの避難時などに着用した火事頭巾。武家の女性にとって火事装束は嫁入り道具の一つであり、江戸に住まう際の必需品だった。女性用の火事頭巾は男性用のものと比べて華やかな色味や繊細な刺繍があり、頭巾は立烏帽子の形をしているのが特色。
本資料は、頭部が革製で、首周りを覆う錣(しころ)は五種の裂地(きれじ)で出来ている。花文様を散らした染革に、雲形に切った黄・緑・赤の羅紗、そして絹地を重ねる。全体的に贅を尽くした作りで、武家の女性らしい優美さを備えている。
This is a fire hood worn by a samurai-class woman at the time of a fire evacuation. For women of the samurai-class, fire resistant clothing was a part of their trousseaux and a necessity when living in Edo. Compared to men's fire hood, women's fire hood is more colorful, with delicate embroidery and is in the shape of a tall eboshi.
With regards to this woman's fire hood, the part which covers the head is made of leather and the part which covers the neck, called ""shikoro"", is made of five kinds of fabric. Cloud-shaped wollen cloths in yellow, green and red, as well as silk, are placed over a flower-patterned dyed leather. Overall, the hood is luxuriously made and its elegant style is suitable for a woman of the samurai-class.
