May Doll Tokugawa Ieyasu Storage Wearable Helmet Decoration Popular Shop
May dolls change with the times, but one that remains popular regardless of the trends is one shaped like Tokugawa Ieyasu's helmet.
This helmet is based on the fern-decorated helmet that Tokugawa Ieyasu had made for the Winter Siege of Osaka.
This is a symbolic May doll with the Tokugawa's chrysanthemum crest on the front and a lion-biting motif in the center of the fern leaves.
It is said that Tokugawa Ieyasu is popular because of his personality and the way he lived his life that many people can relate to.
It seems that he did not have a privileged childhood, but he did not let adversity remain adversity. He cherished connections with others and did not miss any opportunities, living a long and fulfilling life and laying the foundations for the Edo Shogunate that lasted for 200 years.
Of course, Tokugawa Ieyasu was able to rule the country thanks to his intelligence and military strategy, but it is also said that there were many military commanders who were so impressed by his character that they risked their lives to fight for him.
The Mikawa samurai, led by Ieyasu himself, were a group of fearless warriors renowned for never turning their backs on the enemy.
The desire to emulate Tokugawa Ieyasu, the man the samurai chose to risk their lives for, is likely the reason why Tokugawa Ieyasu's helmets are always in demand regardless of the trends of the time.
In fact, there were very few predicaments that Ieyasu himself managed to get out of; whenever he found himself in a difficult situation, it was his retainers who rescued him.
At the time of the Honnoji Incident, it was merchants from Sakai (some say it was Iga ninjas) who helped Ieyasu escape from Osaka.
This is proof that he was a great man who inspired those around him with a deep desire to help and serve him.
In order to achieve success, one's own ability is important, but the support one receives from those around oneself cannot be ignored.
During the Warring States period, when many warlords fought for supremacy, there were only a handful of military commanders who lived long and fulfilling lives.
May dolls are often sought after as people hope to share in this good fortune and his gentle personality, which earned him many servants.
