"Samurai Doll" 武者人形
Samurai doll is not factory produced.
A masterpiece armor carefully handmade to each doll that is profound
and heavily shaped design with attention to detail by using traditional techniques.
It started in the Nara era, and it was widely established through the “Boy’s Festival”,
which is an event to protect boys from illness and disaster during the Heian period.
When the custom was transmitted from aristocracy to samurai in the Edo period,
the event got held to pray for the healthy growth of the boys who will be a home successor as period goes by.
Also, it spread among the common people as an important event wishing for the prosperity of the clan.
The custom to decorate armor, helmets and martial dolls at the Boy's festival, was born from a samurai society.
It comes from the tradition of dedicating armor and helmets to the shrine in hopes of safety. In modern times,
it is decorated with the wish that armor and helmets that protect a body would protect people from disease and accidents.
This martial doll is made based on faithful era proof,
and a full-fledged armor/helmet with high embodiment up to the detail has
both beauty as a craft and a profound atmosphere.
