Mutsu Hanki Tsunekiyo" The sad death of Fujiwara no Tsunekiyo is represented by his helmet. He fought for the pride of Emishi together with Abe Sadatoshi during the Former Nine Years' War (1051-1062). In the end, he was captured by the Imperial Court forces of Minamoto no Yoriyoshi and Minamoto no Yoshie and sawed to death with an unsharpened sword overflowing with teeth. The pain of his death is expressed by the bowl of his helmet, which was overturned. The helmet bowl is broken and the lacquer has lost its luster, but the shinodara and the Hachiman-za, although dirty, still shine with a strong golden light. The material used for the helmet bowl is plaster. Sumi ink, water-based lacquer, acrylic paint, and urethane varnish are used for the colors.
