A top-quality brand item! Armor for May dolls by Heian Takehisa

Heian Bukyu is the name of a Kyoto armor maker.
It is one of the groups of the highest ranking armorers known as the Rakuchoukai.
Currently, the second and third generations are working on making armor.
The Rakuchoukai (Issui, Awataguchi Kiyonobu, and Heian Takehisa) are treated as special armor makers of the highest rank even in department stores and doll specialty shops.

The armor made by Takehisa is authentic and follows traditional construction methods.
The heavy, stately construction unique to Kyoto products, the real gold foil decorations, and the meticulous attention to detail express the eternal beauty of a man's spirit and sincerity in this May doll.

Takehisa's armor is made under the policy that "reflecting masterpieces (armor) is reflecting the spirit of a great general in the present."
For Takehisa, representing the armor of famous generals of the past as a May doll was a sign of his determination to embody the spirit of those great generals.
It is believed that it was his uncompromising spirit and high level of skill that earned Takehisa the title of master craftsman.

For Sengoku warlords, battles were literally a place where they risked their lives.
Armorers also used the highest level of technology and skill to create the armor that would protect the lives of samurai.
Takehisa is one of the armorers who continues to convey the spirit of armorers from that era to the present day.

The most representative traditional May dolls are Edo armor and Kyoto armor.
Kyoto armor developed within aristocratic society, and is characterized by its extensive use of metal and gold leaf, resulting in elegant, glamorous, sparkling armor and helmets.

A dragon is often attached to the front of the helmet, giving it an attractive, manly yet elegant and noble appearance.
The armor for May dolls is categorized into "Edo armor," "Kyoto armor," and "other," and while other types of armor also have dragons on the front, nothing beats the intricacy of the craftsmanship and the luxurious use of metal in Kyoto armor.

May dolls are made to embody the military achievements of military commanders and to express the hope that children will avoid misfortune and grow into people who can carve out their own paths in life.
These elegant, authentic May dolls embody the wish for a safe and fruitful life.
Celebrate your child's first festival with a real May doll.

『Bow and Sword』

The brown sheath is not made of plastic, but is made of wood, making it a genuine item.
It is also finished using a topcoat technique called pear-skin painting, in which gold powder is mixed and applied.

This bow and sword set also comes with a spear covered with fur, making it one of the few rare bow and sword sets with spear in the industry.

"Pedestal and Screen"

The height of the screen is 102 cm.
The large feather depicts Mount Fuji as seen from Sunpu Castle, where Tokugawa Ieyasu lived.
Inside the arrow, which symbolizes protection from evil, is a pine tree, which symbolizes longevity. Inside the other arrow, a treasure ship of dreams is depicted, carrying happiness and gold, silver and other treasures. The gold leaf processing technique used is a modern technique that produces a beautiful finish.
