Love at first sight! Boys' Festival first festival with a May doll child general decoration | Riku-kun from Hokkaido

A lovely letter from my grandmother

I saw the catalog and saw that the young Taisho Taimu looked like my grandson Riku, so I fell in love with him at first sight and bought it.
I took a commemorative photo in front of the dolls that are displayed for Children's Day. The hanging ornaments that my great-grandmother made are also perfect as hanging bases for the Hina dolls!!

When I got home I compared the picture of the decoration with the catalogue and oh no...
The sword and bow and arrow are reversed, and the sword is upside down; this is also part of the charm of the first Doll Festival, and I apologize to those who put so much effort into creating this, but I would ask for your forgiveness.

After all, it was a photo in which I thought my grandson's face was sharp and he looked like Omu in his jinbaori.

I'll decorate it properly from next year.

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.

My name is Tsujii and I am a staff member at Hinasei.
Thank you for posting your letter and photos from your grandmother.

The expression with his mouth tightly closed is just like Omu-kun! They look very similar.
I understand the words of your letter very well.
In the photo of you and your sister, you look like three siblings.

Every year, we receive comments from several people saying, "I bought it because my child looked like Kodomo Taisho!"
Although he is a military commander, his adorable facial expression makes him look like a child, which is probably why he is so popular.

I'm sure it won't be long before Riku, who was once supported by his mother while sitting, is running around and talking energetically.
Every time you see your Omu-kun displayed for the Boys' Festival, you will be reminded of what he was like when he was a little child.

I hope you continue to make lots of memories.
I hope that you will grow up healthy together with your sister.

Thank you for the opportunity.
