Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba presented U.S. President Donald Trump with a golden kabuto helmet ornament during their summit meeting on Friday, according to officials.
The ornament was made by Ningyo no Hanafusa, a company that makes dolls and other items in Tottori City, the prime minister’s hometown.
According to the company’s website, the ornament is made from processed metal and priced at ¥168,000. The website said the product is imbued with a wish “for eternal brilliance.”
Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe once presented Trump with a golden golf club.
