Boys' Festival First Festival with Armor Decoration of May Doll | Yuto-kun from Yaizu City, who loves his grandparents

Thank you very much for making such a wonderful May doll.

My parents picked it out in the store and gave it to their son, who will be their first grandchild.

Whenever my parents see their son, they hug him with joy.
My son also loves his grandparents and always has a big smile on his face.

When I see that scene, I feel happy too.
I was reminded once again how wonderful family is.

I read your letter and it made me feel so kind.

I learned that May dolls are filled with wishes for children.

I also plan to decorate a May doll for my son every year, making wishes for him.

Please continue to make wonderful May dolls.

A message of gratitude from Takeaki Aoki, president of Hinasei

Thank you for purchasing a lovely May doll.
And thank you for posting the photos and letter celebrating your first Doll Festival.

If you look at the photos, you'll see that the children are smiling in both pictures!

It's quite difficult to take a photo of a child smiling at this age, but I'm sure they have a lot of expressive faces.

Also, your letter is a very welcome piece of writing.
One day, I realized that I was so busy manufacturing and selling Hina dolls, May dolls, and hanging dolls that I was not able to convey the true meaning of May dolls.

The original meaning of May dolls is
Family get-togethers,
Feelings of gratitude,
It's about growing up...

It is filled with many wishes and thoughts.

What is most needed in today's world is hidden deep within the Boys' Festival.
Please take your time to explain these important points to your children.

Thank you from Yaizu for this wonderful opportunity!

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

Yuto is smiling brightly in front of the donated armor.

This is a photo that makes you feel kind and wonderful just looking at it.

Votive armor is intended to be enshrined at shrines and has a different meaning from other armor.

I hope he grows into a boy with true strength... Perhaps that is the wish that is being expressed.

It would be great to display it every year and convey your family's feelings.

Thank you very much for this wonderful opportunity from Yaizu.
