When is the best time to put away the May dolls (helmet armor)?
May dolls are a traditional Japanese festival item that has long been displayed to pray for the healthy growth of boys.
And Golden Week is the perfect time to decorate and enjoy the celebrations of these May dolls.
On May 5th during Golden Week, there is an event called Tango no Sekku, which celebrates the growth of children.
It's a long, peaceful holiday, so I'm sure there will be plenty of family events scheduled.
Moms and dads who are usually busy with work and housework will be able to use the long weekend to relieve their fatigue and spend some peaceful time feeling refreshed.
On Children's Day, I'm sure that families with boys have a May doll, large or small.
With a little ingenuity, you can make Tango no Sekku an even more enjoyable event.
Tips for decorating
How to enjoy the May Doll Celebration
With family and friends...
It's fun to decorate your May doll with family and friends.
You can decorate together and share in the celebratory spirit.
May dolls look more impressive if you decorate them with branches, flowers, etc. rather than simply standing them up.
You can also create a more seasonal feel by placing items such as irises and kashiwamochi, which are displayed during the Boys' Festival, in front of the May dolls.
Once you have decorated your May doll, it would be a good idea to take some commemorative photos.
Photos taken with family and friends will become fond memories to look back on in the future.
There are several ways to decorate your May doll and enjoy the celebration.
Decorating with family and friends can help you create even more happy memories.
When is a good time to tidy up?
Now, after the fun event of Children's Day is over, the May dolls need to be put away.
But when is the best time to tidy up?
I'm sure many of you have questions like this.
We will answer such questions.
First of all, it is time to put away the May dolls. If possible, it should be on a sunny day after May 6th.
It would be best to tidy it up next weekend.
Putting away these May dolls marks the end of the Golden Week holidays.
It would be best to think of this as the end of the Children's Day events on May 5th of that year.
Then children start kindergarten and school, and parents begin their usual schedules.
Doesn't this give you a sense of balance?
Some people may find it difficult and troublesome to put them away, but I think it's best to do it during the calm months of May.
And as we look forward to the Boys' Festival events during Golden Week next year, we will be even more excited to watch our children grow up next year.
Around June, the rainy season begins and long periods of drizzle rain continue.
It will also be humid, and the weather will not be good for putting away the May dolls.
If you leave it up for too long, it will ruin the Golden Week event.
The value of joy from a child's perspective will be lost.
"Dad is off work. I can spend time with him. He'll decorate my May doll. He'll celebrate me."
"I had such a fun Golden Week, I wish next year would come already..."
Children's Day during Golden Week may be a special and comfortable season for children.
To make people feel that joy, we need to wait until after May 5th.
It may not be a good idea to leave it on display for a long time.
If you want to display it for a long time, I recommend putting it up in early April and enjoying it.
The longer the celebration lasts, the more fun it is!
As the seasons change, you need to be more careful with your skin care.
Here are some tips on what to do in May.
