《Armor helmet: Edo Kimekomi doll (Kakinuma doll)》
Kimekomi is called Kimekomi because thin grooves are carved into the folds of costumes and the boundaries between pieces of cloth, and the cloth is “kimekomi”d into these grooves. The origin of Kimekomi dolls is the Kimekomi dolls, which were created in Kyoto during the Genbun era (1736-1741) about 270 years ago, and the doll-making techniques were transmitted to Edo, where “Edo Kimekomi dolls” were born. Today, the Edo Kimekomi dolls, a traditional craft designated by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, are famous for being made in Tokyo and Saitama.

《Fabric: Hakata-ori, finest pure silk》
The gift pattern is a pattern that represents Hakata-ori. It originates from Kuroda Nagamasa (1568-1623), the lord of the Chikuzen domain, who presented Hakata-ori to the shogunate during the Edo period, and it has been passed down to the present day. There are two striped patterns in the offering pattern: parent and child stripes and filial stripes. “Oyakojima” is a striped pattern with thick stripes sandwiching thin stripes, and it has the meaning of “parents protecting their children.” “Filial stripes” are stripes arranged so that thin stripes sandwich thick stripes, and it has the meaning of “a child’s love for its parents.” It embodies the wishes of good health and prosperity for descendants, which will be passed down through the generations.
