Gold Success Kabuto with Dragon & Tiger Screen
Gold Success Kabuto with Dragon & Tiger Screen
金彩出世兜(菊唐草･龍虎屏風付)
During Japan’s Sengoku period, the pairing of a dragon (which summons clouds) and a tiger (which stirs the wind) was seen as a symbol of powerful leaders who face adversity head-on. This motif was widely favored by samurai as a representation of strength and heroism.
The ceramic kabuto (samurai helmet) is durable, resists aging, and is easy to care for—making it ideal for display in any home.
Children's day dolls and decorations symbolize wishes for a boy’s healthy growth, strength, and the prosperity of the family.
Yakushigama’s seasonal items also include popular figures such as Momotaro and Kintaro, making them enjoyable as decorative pieces.

Story
The brand name “Yakushigama” comes from a small shrine dedicated to Yakushi Nyorai (the Buddha of Healing), believed to have been created by the monk Gyoki. This shrine stood on the grounds of Chugai Toen until the late Edo period.
Boy’s Day Decoration (Gogatsu Ningyo)
Tango no Sekku (Boys’ Day), now celebrated as Children’s Day on May 5, became associated with boys during the Kamakura period. Iris leaves, believed to ward off evil, are also associated with the word shobu (meaning both “iris” and “martial spirit”), which helped establish the tradition.
Gogatsu dolls and decorations symbolize wishes for a boy’s healthy growth, strength, and the prosperity of the family.
Yakushigama’s seasonal items also include popular figures such as Momotaro and Kintaro, making them enjoyable as decorative pieces.
