The *Helmet (Kawari-Kabuto) in the Shape of a Wave* is a striking example of Japanese armor craftsmanship. Created by contemporary artist Hiromichi Miura (1938-present), it was made in the style of historical *Kawari-Kabuto* helmets, which were often designed in the shape of animals or natural forms. This particular helmet is distinguished by its wave-like design, symbolizing strength and resilience. The helmet is adorned with a crest featuring intricate gold-colored waves, further emphasizing its theme. The helmet is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
