rice hat

A rice hat, also known as 'asian conical hat', is a cone shaped hat made of straw or matting traditionally worn by rice harvesters in several asian countries. It is kept in place by a chin strap or an internal headband. It can be dipped in water and worn as an impromptu evaporative cooling device.

Very similiar to ajirogasa, a hat made of wicker or bamboo that is worn by priests, not farmers.

A variant made of metal, wood or hardened leather worn by soldiers and samurais is called jingasa.
