Agasa is the typical hat of a traveling Japanese monk. It is made overly-large in a bowl or mushroomed shape, from woven rice straw. It does not come to a point like a rice farmer's hat, nor ride high on the head like a samurai's traveling hat. It is just a big hat covering from upper half to two thirds of the face. Thus, it helps mask the identity of the monk and allows him to travel undistracted by sights around him on his journey.
