Uesugi Kenshin was a military god who valued justice and was not bound by personal desires.
This platinum helmet was created to convey that noble spirit to the modern era.
The entire helmet is based on an elegant platinum color,
The majestic crest and delicate gold decorations,
And the aesthetic sense is evident in every detail, from the headboards to the eaves.
The shikoro (armor) is made of heavy, authentic kozane (small scale metal plates),
The helmet gently and powerfully protects the wearer.
The string is tied in a "Musou knot" style.
Once tied, it cannot be untied.
It embodies the "strength to stick to the path you believe in" and "a parent's unwavering wishes."
Just as the knot continues to protect the helmet without coming undone,
This helmet also transcends time.
It will be a powerful support for the future of children.
On the folding screen behind him,
A dragon and a tiger, boldly painted in gold, face each other.
It envelops the space as a symbol of heaven and earth.
In particular, the dragon's scales are holographically processed ,
The expression that gives off a fantastic glow depending on the light,
It's as if each angle you look at it tells a new story.
The display stand is beautifully harmonized with the black lacquered cabinet and natural wood base.
Its stately appearance is one that exudes warmth and elegance.
It will blend in dignifiedly into any space and become a quiet presence at the heart of your family.
"When you're lost, find the right path."
Just like the path that Uesugi Kenshin walked,
When the children grow up,
Through this helmet,
Parents' thoughts and the "core of the heart" they want to cherish
I'm sure they'll accept it.
Many warlords wore helmets with crescent moons or sun disks on them.
This is said to be due to the belief that military exploits could be achieved with the help of the power of the sun, moon, and stars.
For this reason, sun and crescent moon shaped front plates are often used on May dolls.
Uesugi Kenshin is also known for his deep faith in Buddhism.
He was known to be a devout, loyal, and strict military commander.
He is famous for his deep respect for Bishamonten, and was later called the "war god of 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.
It gets in the way when swinging a sword or putting on a bow,
A characteristic of right-handed people's helmets is that the left side is shorter.
Uesugi Kenshin was a military commander from Echigo Province (present-day Niigata Prefecture) who was feared and known as the "Tiger of Echigo."
He was also famous as a military commander who lived by "righteousness," and when the Imagawa clan ordered the Takeda clan to "stop salt,"
He told the Takeda clan, who were supposed to be his enemies, "I cannot allow the people of Kai Province to suffer."
There is a famous anecdote about him sending salt.
Salt ban means banning 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, but he also has a strong belief in something.
Even when achieving a goal, he always follows his principles.
This is the perfect May doll to express your wish for your child to grow up to be just such a 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 has a subdued black and silver color scheme.
As you can see at a glance, this May doll is
The gold of the front plate, the strings of the helmet, the hamaya and hamaya on the sides, the gold of the sword and the sun, the side plates of the helmet
A black screen is used to further enhance the contrast between the bright gold and silver.
The dignified gold and silver that stand out against the silent black
Enjoy the elegant contrast of this May doll.
