Boys' Festival First Festival with a helmet decoration for a May doll | Blue comes from indigo and is bluer than indigo. Hikari-kun from Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture

He looks just like my husband when he was a child, but people often tell him he looks just like me, his mother.

Helmet and smiling face

My son loves shiny things and stuffed toys, and he couldn't wait to touch the shiny helmet.

My son is always mistaken for a girl.



My son is 9 months old and was born on July 12th.
thank you.



My son came into my womb at a time when I was going through a major crisis.
I am grateful to my benefactor's son for giving me great hope in life.

In May of 2019, I celebrated my first annual festival with my grandparents and two great-grandmothers by wearing helmets.
Our son, Hikaru, was born last summer, amid the dazzling lush greenery of the trees.
The Aoi armor helmet perfectly matches that image. The blue gradation of the armor was created by the craftsmen.

May dolls give you a sense of the strength that can transform the hardships and sufferings of life into something glorious.
My grandfather decorated it with all his heart, wishing for my healthy growth and happiness.
Ever since he was born, my son has brought warmth to our family with his many smiles.

As the saying goes, "blue comes from indigo, but is bluer than indigo," so I hope that you will continue to work hard and enjoy life while bringing a "ray" of hope to those around you.

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.
I'm Tsujii, a staff member at Hina Dolls.

He's at the age where he puts everything in his mouth, it's so cute!

He has such a cute face that you could easily mistake him for a girl.

As they celebrate their first festival in the new era, it is clear that they are surrounded by everyone's love.

I've always thought that blue is a beautiful color, but what I've learned from your words is that it has the strength to transform the hardships and trials of life into brilliance.

We are pleased that you chose your May doll with this image in mind and that you had the opportunity to meet it.

Thank you very much for this opportunity.
