Stylish May Doll: A compact helmet made from Kenshin Uesugi's helmet

This is a May doll of Uesugi Kenshin wearing a helmet with a sun disk and a crescent moon on the front.

Many military commanders wore helmets with crescent moons or sun disks on them, which is said to be because they believed they could use the power of the sun, moon, and stars to achieve military success. For this reason, sun disks and crescent moons are often used on the front plate of May dolls.

Uesugi Kenshin was also famous for his deep faith in Buddhism, and was known to be a devout, loyal, and strict military commander.
He was famous for his deep respect for Bishamonten, and was later called the "God of War in the Northern Sky."
He was also an excellent military commander who unified the chaotic Hokuriku region, which was constantly at war and divided into many powerful factions.

The left side of the helmet crest is shorter because Kenshin was right-handed.
A distinctive feature of right-handed helmets is that the left side is shorter, as this gets in the way when swinging a sword or nocking a bow.

Uesugi Kenshin was a military commander from Echigo Province (present-day Niigata Prefecture) who was feared as the "Tiger of Echigo."
He was also famous as a military commander who lived by righteousness, and there is a famous anecdote that when the Imagawa clan ordered the Takeda clan to stop sending salt to them, he sent salt to the Takeda clan, who were supposed to be his enemy, saying, "We cannot allow the people of Kai Province to suffer."

The salt ban was a prohibition on the export of salt. Kai Province is now Yamanashi Prefecture.
In Kai Province, which has no sea, the lack of salt is a matter of survival.
Even if it is to weaken the enemy, we cannot ignore the trouble it causes to the people of that country.
He was such a loyal military commander.

Not only is he brave and courageous, he also has strong beliefs and is always loyal when it comes to achieving his goals.
This is the perfect May doll to express your wish for your child to grow up to be just that kind of boy.

This May doll is made in subdued colors, with silver pine trees painted on a black background.
The display stand under the helmet also features a subdued black and silver color scheme.
As you can see at a glance, this May doll is paired with a black folding screen to further highlight the contrast between the gold of the front plate, the helmet's strings, the hamaya and hamayumi arrows at the sides, the gold of the sword and sun disk, and the brilliant gold and silver of the helmet's side plates.

Enjoy this May doll with its dignified and elegant contrast of gold and silver that stands out against the silent black.
