This is a May doll decoration that recreates the armor of Honda Tadakatsu, one of the four great generals of the Tokugawa clan. When you think of Honda Tadakatsu, you think of the large rosary hanging from his robe, and the helmet with deer antlers and lion bites.
Among Ieyasu's loyal retainers, Honda Tadakatsu is known as a warrior with outstanding bravery, and is known as a military commander who never received a wound in any battle in his life.
The famous large rosary is said to be a memorial for the souls of defeated enemies.
It was highly praised in later generations for its decorative qualities as an expression of the samurai's view of impermanence during the Warring States period.
Takeda Shingen said, "There are two things that Ieyasu surpasses: the leader of the Tang Dynasty and Honda (Heihachiro) Tadakatsu."
His bravery was so great that it was known even in distant lands.
Oda Nobunaga also called him "a man of strength who has both beauty and fruit."
Toyotomi Hideyoshi called him "the greatest samurai in Japan, past and present."
His bravery was such that he never received a single sword wound despite fighting in actual combat during his 57 battles in his lifetime.
He was spoken of as a model for samurai throughout the Edo period.
People who purchase May dolls of Sengoku warlords often have particular preferences for the warlords they are modeled after.
Tadakatsu Honda's armor made people fall in love with it at first sight, even if they didn't know him well.
Many people fall in love with it even more after learning about its life and end up purchasing it.
On the Boys' Festival, people decorate May dolls to ward off misfortune that befalls boys.
It began as a place for prayer in the Heian period.
By displaying this brave and courageous May doll, we hope you will be able to ward off impending disasters just like the warrior.
This custom reflects the wishes of parents.
"folding screen"
The folding screen, which has beautiful wood grain, is decorated with a dragon and a tiger.
When the dragon and tiger are placed with the dragon on the right and the tiger on the left, they have been depicted in many paintings as a motif of peace and prosperity throughout the world.
The dragon is associated with the Azure Dragon and is a motif that has been popular as the guardian deity of the east, while the tiger is associated with the White Tiger and is a motif that has been popular as the guardian deity of the west.
『Bow and Sword』
The brown sheath is not made of plastic, but is made of wood, making it a genuine product.
The finish is also achieved using a topcoat technique called pear-skin lacquering, in which gold powder is mixed in and applied.
In the May Festival doll industry, the standard bow and sword combination is a combination of a sword and a bow and arrow.
This sword and yumi set also comes with a spear covered in fur, making it one of the few rare sword and yumi sets in the industry that comes with a spear.
May dolls date back to a time when things were scarce and lives were lost much more easily than they are today.
It is an important Japanese custom to treat newborn lives with care and pray for the safe growth of these little lives into adults.
Please celebrate with a carefully crafted May doll.
