This samurai helm is at the Metropolitan Museum of art in New York City. I had to take this picture when I saw it!

Well that is quite interesting....does the rabbit have symbolic nature in Japan, I wonder.

Well I don't know for sure about Japan, but in china DO NOT EAT THE WHITE RABBIT CANDY.
It makes you go all funny, you know what I mean vern?

Don't eat the white rabbit candy if it's not fresh-- the stale stuff will have your fillings. The fresh soft ones are quite nice.
I know that there's the legendary moon-rabbit, and there's the calendrical rabbit. It could be that the previous owner of this particular melon-protector used a rabbit on his flag, and liked rabbits in general. Also, I know I'D be distracted fighting him with those creepy little eyes staring at me-- it might just be he wanted to screw with the head of any opponent ("He doesn't look so tough. Thrust! Why a rabbit, though? Dodge! What kind of freak has a rabbit.... Parry! ...On his kabuto? I've never heard of anyone else... ah, crap, there goes my arm.")

that's so cool.
Indeed.

Indeed, that is cool. And yes, those eyes would creep me out if I were fighting the guy wearing the helmet. Perhaps we'll see Usagi in a battle helmet with a creepy human head on top of it.

Very cool!
I was just there in October, as part of a vacation, and saw that very same thing!
I too, took a picture of it, thinking instantly of Usagi.
There were a lot of great things on display there at the Met. The equestrian displays were great fun for me.
