There are several types of Tokugawa Ieyasu's helmets,
This May doll is a type with fern-shaped side ornaments.
Ferns are evergreen all year round and grow by underground stems.
It means "spreading," "increasing," and "not dying."
It has been loved by the Japanese as a motif of prosperity for future generations.
There is a theory that Tokugawa Ieyasu used fern leaves as a side decoration around the time of the Battle of Sekigahara.
There are two theories: one is that it was made for the Winter Campaign of Osaka, and the other is that it was made for the Winter Campaign of Osaka.
This helmet is famous as the last helmet that Tokugawa Ieyasu used to bring peace to the country in his life.
By the way, in the last Summer Battle of Osaka, "it was not necessary to wear a helmet,"
There is also an anecdote that Ieyasu never wore a helmet.
Tokugawa Ieyasu is a famous military commander known as the "Divine Ruler" who founded the Edo Shogunate for 200 years.
He was never arrogant, and left behind the famous quote, "Even when standing above others, he never looks down on them."
Even when things get tough, don't give up, don't fear failure, and try to see the essence of things.
It is said that his sincere attitude was the reason he was able to unify the country.
Ieyasu's retainers were famous for their strong unity.
As a result of Ieyasu's never looking down on people,
The Mikawa samurai were known throughout the country as a brave and courageous military force.
"All Mikawa warriors fall facing the enemy.
His loyalty was so great that it was feared that "no warrior would run away and turn his back on them and fall."
It is said that this was due to the virtue of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was loved for his virtue, is also a beloved motif for May dolls.
A folding screen painted with a dragon and a tiger watches over the carefully crafted helmet.
The dragon and tiger are painted on a folding screen with beautiful wood grain.
It is a symbol of peace and prosperity that only the Emperor can command.
I want him to grow up strong and courageous.
I also hope that they will grow up to be honest people who can gain the trust of others.
This is the perfect May doll for those who want their child to always remain calm and well-liked.
