No. 4, light green iris thread

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

When it comes to small-sized May dolls, the standard is the "Kabuto decoration," but we have realized the "Yoroi decoration that can be displayed in a small space." It is not just small, but we have completed a "realistic" armor decoration that is comparable in construction to large armor. The intricacy and brilliant color scheme of the work, created with outstanding color coordination, are worth seeing.

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

A leading expert on compact May dolls.
While the standard for small May dolls is the "kacchi (helmet) decoration," Sakutaro created the "Yoroi (armor) decoration that can be displayed in a small space." Not only is it small, but he created a "realistic" armor decoration that is comparable in construction to larger armor.
The intricacy and vivid colors created with an outstanding sense of color coordination are definitely worth seeing.
