Kanmuri (headwear)

A kanmuri (冠) is a type of Japanese cap generally consisting of lacquer-coated black silk gauze, with ornaments such as a pennon. It was the standard headwear worn by adult men at the Japanese imperial court, including courtiers, aristocrats, and the emperor, from the Heian period to the Meiji Restoration. Today, it is worn only by the Imperial Family and government officials on rare occasions, such as weddings and the accession of new emperors. It is worn in conjunction with the sokutai.[1]
The Toyota Camry is named after the kanmuri.[2]
