May Doll Helmet Ornament by Tomomi Kato

Edo Armor No. 1 Tomomi Kato learned how to make helmets from the Heian period and has faithfully reproduced them.

This is a rare helmet that still uses traditional manufacturing methods today.






A helmet that quietly embodies a certain wish.

- Instilling honest strength in the hearts of our children -


Recommended for:

  • Families who want to celebrate seasonal festivals with authentic designs


  • Those looking for a helmet that exudes calm elegance and strength


  • People who appreciate crafts that cherish traditional techniques


  • Those who want to choose festival decorations that will not only be used for decoration but will also be passed down for generations.


  • Parents who want to convey the "determination" and "power to protect" that Minamoto no Yoritomo embodies


A helmet ornament that combines dignity and tranquility.
This helmet is based on Minamoto no Yoritomo , who laid the foundation for the samurai class.

Its imposing appearance attracts people's attention at first sight,
It makes you feel the determination to protect that is behind it.


Each crest is carefully cut out and processed ,
The delicate design, which changes shade depending on the angle, is attractive.

The shikoro (sash) has a pure color based on white ,
The high-quality finish of the deerskin small plates gives it a neat and tidy impression.


The armor was created by armor maker Tomomi Kato .
For many years, we have pursued the precise structure and aesthetic sense based on actual combat armor.
He is a master craftsman who also works as a Tokyo Traditional Craftsman.

His works all have a narrative quality that makes them seem to "speak to you."
It adds a depth that is appropriate for family festivals.


The background screen features a gold leaf pattern of pine trees .
The delicate shine created by traditional techniques adds a touch of elegance to the quiet atmosphere.

Gold leaf is a decorative technique unique to Japan that uses gold leaf and gold powder to create pictures and patterns.
The impression changes depending on the angle of the light and the time of day,
It shows different beauty each time you decorate it, morning, noon or night.

The contrast between the white of the screen and the gold of the pine trees makes the helmet stand out even more.
It brings elegance and warmth to the occasion marking your child's new beginning.


This festival decoration is not just a decoration.
"So that this child can live in peace."
The gaze and wishes of such families,
It will be gently placed on top of this helmet every year.




Each piece is carefully crafted with time and effort to ensure that it is a product that meets our expectations.







The shikoro (sash) of this helmet is made by layering many layers of Japanese paper.

Lacquer is applied on top to make it stronger.




Uses a braided leather cord.



The streamers are also made from deerskin, which is stepped on, tanned, and then painted with red.




A helmet bowl made with the utmost care to be as authentic as possible.

This is one of the helmets that sells out every year due to its high quality.





The bow and sword are not used for fighting, but are displayed together with the helmet as a talisman to ward off evil spirits.

It was believed that the gods resided in the long bow.

Displaying a bow and a sword on both sides means that the retainers are standing by his side.

Their role is to protect the armor of the general.

The bow and sword are meant to ward off evil spirits and demons.

Although it is actually a small sword, it is the industry's number one high-quality wooden sword.

The brown sheath is not made of plastic, but is made of wood, making it a genuine item.

The sheath is painted with a pear-skin finish, which is a mixture of gold powder.

Finished using topcoat technique.




Folding screen: Height 55cm.

Since it is made from natural wood, it is a material for folding screens and display stands that gives off the warmth of wood.

It has a calm brown design, so it looks stylish when displayed in the living room.

The pattern is of pine trees on waves in an elegant gold color on a thin, light beige tsumugi cloth.

We chose a simple design to give you a sense of elegance and style.

When you look at it from different angles, you can see various sparkling colors appearing and disappearing.

The reason for this is that a process called porogram, which produces seven colors, is applied before the gold leaf is applied.

I want to keep it stylish and vibrant for Children's Day.

This is an elegant folding screen and stand recommended for such people.
