Popular because it's a small May doll! A storage-type helmet ornament with pure platinum foil


This is a popular small May doll that is easy to display and store.
In order to create a small yet authentic May doll, the metal parts of the helmet are decorated with pure platinum foil and made from genuine leather, with pure silk thread used.
The May dolls are like small works of art.

The blue silk thread that brings out the platinum foil and the intricate craftsmanship give this May doll an overwhelming presence, even though it is a small one.
Since it is a storage type, everything can be stored inside the display stand.

The back part of the helmet is decorated with peonies.
The combination of peonies is called "lion and peony." Carrying a peony on one's back means being "brave like a lion."
For this reason, peony designs were often used on armor.

Helmets were used to protect the lives of samurai on the battlefield.
Wearing a flashy helmet that would make one stand out and refusing to run away from approaching enemies was considered proof of being a brave warrior.

It is said that May dolls represent the bravery of military commanders, and at the same time, they follow the custom in samurai society of displaying them in the tokonoma alcove to ward off misfortune that might befall boys, thus warding off evil spirits from outside.

Already in the Kamakura period, there was a custom of offering armor and helmets to shrines in order to pray for physical safety.
The current Tango Festival has been cultivated with the hope that children will grow up safely by displaying May dolls, which are a symbol of protecting life.

The biggest change in modern housing from the past is the lack of storage space.
It is not uncommon for grandparents to want to give the young couple a beautiful May doll, but be turned down because they don't have the storage space.

Also, with the increase in people who are transferred frequently due to work, we have heard stories of people losing parts of their items when their storage space is divided into small compartments, making it impossible to display them.
May dolls embody the feelings of the person who gave them.
It's sad that it will no longer be displayed.

The Hinasei storage type series is popular with people who have limited storage space, as everything fits into one box.
Since everything is contained in one place, you won't lose anything and you can safely take it with you when you move.
