May Doll, Warrior, Masamune Date of the Sendai Domain, Helmet, Crescent Moon Kuwagata (helmet crest) Helmet Decoration

This is the helmet worn by Date Masamune, famously known as Dokuganryu Masamune, in his May doll.
The helmets worn on May dolls are helmets that can actually be worn by children up to elementary school age.

The Boys' Festival, which was established during the Heian period, is said to have originally begun with boys playing in helmets made from iris.
It is a traditional event that has been passed down for over 1,000 years to celebrate the growth of boys.

The May dolls are imbued with the hope that children will put on helmets, play bravely, and ward off and defeat the misfortunes that befall them, just as warriors do, triumphing over their enemies.

The helmets worn with May dolls are loved by many people as they are large enough to actually be worn, retaining the traditions of the Heian period.
The size of the helmet worn also symbolizes celebration and joy of the child's growth.

Date Masamune, who is the model for the helmet on the May doll, was a hero of the Tohoku region who united the region at the time of chaos after a period of conflict, and boasted unparalleled power in the region.
There is a theory that if he had been born a few decades earlier, Date Masamune might have been the one to unify Japan.

Many May dolls are modeled after specific military commanders, and many people purchase them with the hope of sharing in the legacy of those great commanders.
Many people fall in love with this helmet at first sight, research the warrior in question, and then are convinced to purchase it.

The helmet worn by Date Masamune is distinctive with a crescent moon on the front.
The crescent moon is a very common motif on helmets from the Warring States period. During that time, Myoken faith, which worships the stationary North Star, was widely believed in.
Myoken faith, which represents an unwavering belief and the center of the world, eventually came to include worship of not only the North Star but also the moon, stars, and sun.

It is also said that the crescent moon also represents the fact that it will soon become a full moon.
The crescent moon, also known as the "crescent moon," which comes from the bow, has been loved by many military commanders as it is believed to represent valor.
Celebrate your child's first Doll Festival with a wearable helmet, which also symbolizes the rising momentum of the future.
