Living with a sense of celebration on the Boys' Festival
The Children's Day is a day to express gratitude for being born.
The thought of cherishing you.
At [Living with Sunshine], we don't just sell dolls for the Boy's Festival, we also want to be there for each individual child's Boy's Festival, from how to enjoy the first Boy's Festival or Boy's Festival, to the day they decide to give up their doll, along with information on the meaning of the festival.
Now that you have celebrated your first Boys' Festival, what fun things can you look forward to in celebrating the Boys' Festival every May?
As you grow, there are many different scenes that you can enjoy at that age.
What kind of May decorations should I decorate? What kind of celebration should I have?
How will you enjoy it next year?
The Boys' Festival is not only a time to pray for healthy growth, but also a celebration to feel the growth of children.
It's different from birthdays, Christmas, or Halloween. It's a form of celebration unique to Japan.
It's really special, especially in the early years, as your family grows with your child.
These special memories will provide emotional support many times as your children grow into adults, strengthen family bonds, and become even more irreplaceable.
Why not deepen your knowledge by learning about the meaning and history of the Boys' Festival?
Learning about history and culture can change the way you enjoy celebrations and give you a new appreciation for the meanings that have been passed down throughout history.
1. May decorations are a once in a lifetime gift for children
All of the May dolls sold at ``Haretoku Kurasu'' are blessed at a shrine and delivered to you with care, so that your family can celebrate the Boy's Festival in peace, along with the meaning of the May dolls.
Armor and helmets are symbols of martial arts and battle, and are meant to represent hope that boys will be strong and brave, even when faced with difficulties in the future.
However, on the other hand, helmets and armor were also important pieces of equipment for military commanders to protect themselves.
The reason why May dolls are decorated with helmets and armor is not only to express the wish that the child will live a strong life, but also to express the hope that they will protect the child.
The prayer seal is attached to the shinobi-o.
We hope that you will be able to welcome this sacred celebratory event of the Festival in peace and joy.
2. Have fun while preserving memories
From the first Doll Festival, celebrating the seasons as your child grows is truly special.
What will they be able to do next year? They can decorate the dolls together, prepare for the celebration together, and as they grow, the way they enjoy the festival changes every year. Let's make sure to keep the memories we can keep now, and someday we can tell our children about them.
It is one of life's greatest gifts that parents can give to their children.
To all customers who purchase a May doll from the online shop <Sunny Living>
We are offering various special gifts!

3. Even when you let go, you can rest assured with "Living with Sunshine"
At Hare to Kurasawa, we offer a service to carry out a thanksgiving (memorial service) ceremony on your behalf, so that you can part with your festival decorations that have completed their usefulness with peace of mind and without any regrets.
From the Hina dolls that have watched over your children's growth to the carp streamers, hagoita (battledore) and hamayumi (baton), you must have created many memories.
Thanksgiving refers to the ceremony in which dolls that have outlived their usefulness are offered at a shrine as a memorial service for children who have grown up and become independent.
