Description :

Japanese Boys' Day Yoroi Kabuto Display Case – With Music Box.

A striking traditional Japanese Yoroi Kabuto (samurai armor helmet) display set, typically showcased during Tango no Sekku (Boys’ Day / Children’s Day) in Japan. Housed in a hexagonal glass-fronted black lacquered case with gold crest detail, this set features:

  • Ornate gold and green kabuto helmet with majestic gilt crests

  • Accompanying elements including arrows, miniature katana sword, and decorative motifs

  • Rotating music box mechanism (as noted by the label オルゴール付 – “with music box”)

  • Inner backdrop with gold foil screen and hawk illustration, symbolizing strength and protection

  • Japanese inscription on label reads:
    「家紋が入ります 人形の久月」– "Family crest can be inserted – Dolls by Kyugetsu"
    (Kyugetsu is a respected Japanese doll maker, known for Hinamatsuri and Boys' Day displays)

This display likely dates from the late Showa period (1970s–1980s) and is a wonderful piece of cultural craftsmanship celebrating tradition and valor.


Dimensions : 19.5 in L x 16.25 in W x 24 in H
