It's called a Jingasa, usually worn by common foot soldiers, ashigaru. Many made of layers of lacquered leather, some of lacquered wood, some of iron. This looks rather new, perhaps a movie prop, re-enactor piece??

Here is an older looking one
Here is an older looking one in need of some restoration that was offered to me some time back as part of a collection. I have been told by students of Japanese objects that these can also be made out of paper and lacquered.

Samurai going to town hat
Like Colin, it's not my area and I like the construction.
Not sure if it's rattan or bamboo. I was told that the covering is bear fur. Crest? |
