| May 5, the Boys' Festival |
s.jpg) 3.jpg) The Boys' Festival is an event held on May 5, expressing hope that each boy in the family will grow up healthy and strong. During this festival, people set up a warrior doll or a yoroi armor set in the house, and Koinobori, huge carp-shaped streamers, outside the house.
We deal in various kinds of Koinobori windsocks and Samurai warrior dolls in this webshop.
Especilally, our samurai dolls are handmade by the skilled doll craftsmen
in the very traditional way of doll-making. With the cooperation of doll
and yoroi armor manufacturers, we have at last built up a stable system
to meet your demand.
Enjoy these high
quality samurai dolls that, even in Japan, are difficult to find. |
