Hat Question

Greetings All!

Here's a Where-in-heck-is... Question:

On another list, someone very kindly posted a link to a straw hat
site. Beautiful hats, but not exactly what I am looking for. I am
trying to make a traveling outfit for a samurai-class woman, and
need a very large diameter gasa from which to hang the veils. There
is a representation of this on The Costume Museum (Rebirth of the
Tale of Genji) site, but I am unable to find the particular hat or
instructions to make one. Can anyone offer any help? Perhaps my
google-ing skills are lacking.

Thanks!

You're looking for the Tsumaore or Ichime-gasa. Here
you go.

And actually, if you poke around on that site there is
a link to another page of women's hats.
