May Doll | Compact | National Treasure Replica Kasuga Taisha | No. 11 Bamboo Sparrow Helmet Ornament

This is a helmet with red-silk armor (bamboo, tiger and sparrow decorations) that is owned by Kasuga Taisha Shrine (Nara Prefecture), which is designated as a national treasure.
Among the armors housed at Kasuga Taisha Shrine, the Akaito-Ido armor is designated as a national treasure and has been featured in various media not only in Japan but also around the world.

The bamboo and sparrow design was very popular during the Kamakura period, and the only one that remains intact today is the one at Kasuga Taisha Shrine. The bamboo is a motif that represents celebration of growth as it grows straight, while the sparrow represents protection from misfortune by pecking away misfortune. Sparrows also represent good harvests, prosperity for the family, and safety in the home, and bamboo and sparrows are used as a well-matched family crest by the Date, Uesugi, and Nagao families.

The helmet's neck guard and crest base are covered with bamboo and sparrows, so it is called the "Bamboo and Sparrow Helmet."

The easy-to-display, compact display stand and folding screen give off a modern vibe and further highlight the intricately crafted Takejaku Kabuto.
This is a May doll helmet decoration that is easy to display and takes up little space, yet has a strong presence.
