Compact May Doll Decoration Tokugawa Ieyasu Storage May Doll

Although it is small, it is a golden helmet that you can immediately tell is "Tokugawa Ieyasu!"
Among May dolls, the most popular is that of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who built the foundation of the Edo Shogunate.
This popular helmet is now available in a storage type that does not take up much storage space and does not take up space for display.

A distinctive feature of Tokugawa Ieyasu's helmet is the side decoration shaped like fern leaves.
Fern leaves remain lush and green all year round and continue to grow back no matter how many times they are cut, making them a beloved motif of longevity and prosperity among the Japanese since ancient times.

It is said that Ieyasu had many helmets made during his lifetime, but the prevailing theory is that he had the fern leaf helmet made for the Winter Siege of Osaka.
It is well known that this was the final helmet to be made after the Winter and Summer Sieges of Osaka, leading to the unification of Japan.

There is a theory that during the Summer Siege, Ieyasu did not wear a helmet, saying "a helmet is unnecessary," and there is a legend that the fern leaf helmet is the last helmet he had made for actual combat.

It's a small May doll, but it's made to be authentic.
The shinobio (cord) that is tied under the chin of the helmet is also made of braided cord by craftsmen.
On the back of the helmet is a dragonfly, which was loved by military commanders as an insect that symbolizes victory.

The small helmet is the perfect size for your child to pick up and play with.
Some children seem to play with it by putting it on dolls.
When your child sees it, they will be truly impressed by its solid weight for its size and the attention to detail that has been given to its construction.

May dolls are not just decorations for the festival.
Even babies who don't recognize the helmet at first will eventually want to pick it up and look at it.
After a few years, they will start asking, "What is this?" and, by the time they reach the upper grades of elementary school, they will probably ask, "Whose helmet is this?"

It won't be long before they ask the giver why they chose this May doll for them.
The day will surely come someday when we will learn the wishes and thoughts of the sender that were put into the May doll.

May dolls are a way to measure growth and also convey the giver's feelings to the future.
