My Final Six Letters

I have completed the letters and intend to bind them into a little book.  Here are the last six.  I was  a bit liberal where there is no Japanese equivalent:  for "V" I used an item beginning with "B" which is usual for foreign words in Japanese, and for "X" I used one beginning with K which has a similar sound.

Uchiwa
A round paper fan with a wooden handle

Bangasa
An umbrella made of bamboo and oiled paper

 Wagashi
Japanese style confectionery

 Kabuto
A helmet worn by samurai

 Yukimidourou
A snow viewing stone lantern

Zukin
A cowl or hood
