Japan Japanese Cap

[paul kennedy]

This is a Japanese cap I have in my collection. I don't know a lot about Japanese headgear. I mainly collect British militaria, so I wanted some input from the forum about this cap.

Thank you,

Paul

The first picture was taken with better light, and shows the color better than the others because of the flash.(It's rainy here today.)
