No. 4 offering pale green iris thread

Compact armor by Musashi Sakutaro, the leading figure in compact May dolls

While the standard for small May dolls is the "kacchi" (helmet) decoration, we have now created a "yoroi (armor) decoration that can be displayed in a small space." Not only is it small, but we have also created a "realistic" yoroi (armor) decoration that is comparable in construction to a large-sized armor. Its intricacy and vibrant design, created with an outstanding sense of color coordination, are definitely worth a look.

This piece, "Dedicated Pale Green Thread Iris," was created as a sacred "votive mold" dedicated to a shrine.
Sakutaro's signature color sense creates a refreshing impression with the fresh greenery of early summer.
