Celebrating Boys' Festival with a cute May doll for the first time | Tsuguaki from Hamamatsu City

Thank you very much for the very cute May doll, child general.

My grandfather passed away when I was seven months pregnant, and I felt very sad and lonely, but I was able to give birth to a boy safely.

He was the first boy in 79 years since my grandfather.
I've always been in a female-line family, and this was my first time seeing a May doll, so I was scared of the image of Gaim and Yoroi Kabuto.

I learned about Kodomo Taisho on the internet and when I searched for "cute Kodomo Taisho" I was able to find Hinasei.

When I saw it in the store, I was so happy to see that it looked like my son that I wanted to buy it.

Then I was shown a tapestry that I could put my son's name on and had it made.

And my grandmother had lost her husband and was depressed,
My son's birthday and my grandmother's birthday were on the same day.
My grandmother was very happy as it was her great-grandson's birthday.

That's why they embroider the date of birth on the tapestry.
I asked her to embroider my grandmother's name next to my son's name.
They let me in happily.
My grandmother was really happy with the finished tapestry.

Hinasei-san's gift was a wooden message box that allowed the recipient to write the name of the person who gave the May doll.
I had the name of my late grandfather engraved on it.

Every time I decorate my May doll, I remember my grandfather.
I want to watch my child grow up with my whole family.

I am truly happy to have been able to purchase my once in a lifetime May doll from Hinasei.

I will treasure it. Thank you very much.

Comments of gratitude from Takeaki Aoki, Managing Director of May Dolls Hinasei

Thank you for coming all the way from Hamamatsu to our store the other day.
Thank you for your multiple email enquiries as well.

The cute little boy general who liked it,
As it was sold out earlier than expected,
I was a little worried about whether people would like it.

But I'm really glad that you chose the best one.

I remember that while exchanging emails and serving customers at the store, I couldn't help but give them special hanging ornaments of well-behaved boys.

And an inquiry about ordering a separate name flag.
Although the staff member who handled my order was inexperienced, it taught me that they do their best to meet customer requests.

Now, as I re-read this letter,
"It was a difficult and complicated process, but I'm glad I did it!"
Yes, I am talking to the staff.

Thank you very much for this connection from Hamamatsu.

Thank you for the opportunity!

I'm Tsujii, a staff member at Hinasei May Dolls.

In the photo, you can see him standing next to the cute little boss, and their faces really do look alike.

I read your letter and I'm glad that the birth of your son has strengthened the bond between your family.

I felt like I had gone deeper.

Children are truly treasures.

I hope that all of Hamamatsu's family will continue to watch over Tsuyoshi's growth.

Thank you very much for this connection from Hamamatsu.
