Iyo Ittobori "Nagumo"

A Hina doll with the warmth of a hand-carved item

Iyo Ittobori "Nagumo" May Doll. A two-tiered set of helmet, Momotaro, Kintaro, and carp streamers. This gorgeous May Doll set is painted with pure gold leaf and decorated with a thousand paper cranes in jacquard weave on the display stand and folding screen.

Each motif has an auspicious meaning, so you can celebrate the festival with wishes for your child's health and success.

[Helmet] A talisman that protects against misfortunes such as illness and accidents and ensures healthy growth.
[Kintaro] With the wish that you will grow up to be a healthy and kind person.
[Momotaro] It expresses the wish that the child will grow up healthy and strong, and become a popular person. The five-colored streamers are meant to ward off evil spirits.
[Carp streamers] Celebrate the healthy growth of boys and pray for their success in life.
The five-colored streamers are meant to ward off evil spirits.
[Kashiwamochi] Kashiwa trees have the characteristic that their old leaves do not fall off until new buds appear, and as such, they are associated with "an unbroken family line" and even "prosperity of descendants."

All of Nagumo's works are handmade by skilled craftsmen. Inheriting the style of the first Buddhist sculptor, the gentle colors and compact, uncluttered scenes are elegant and Japanese, and match well with modern interiors. The wood used is Japanese cypress, which has a soft grain and a beautiful, fragrant aroma. The gentle fragrance of natural wood envelops you in a warm atmosphere.

The doll is made in the order of wood carving → carving → painting, and finally the eyes are added and a Nagumo wooden doll is completed.

＜Carving＞
The two-stage process of rough carving and detailed finishing is carried out using over a dozen types of knives and chisels to carefully carve the stone. After carving is complete, the head of the stone is polished to a soft surface.

<Coloring>
The coloring process is divided into two stages: undercoating and detailed finishing. Over twenty different types of brushes are used skillfully to carefully color the fine details. Finally, eyes are added and Nagumo's wooden doll is complete.

*Please be careful.
As all the work is done by hand, the coloring, facial finish, etc. may not be exactly the same as in the photo. Thank you for your understanding.
