(JP¥5,500)
Thank you for viewing. This item has been stored at my parents' home. I was told that my grandfather, who was born in the Meiji era, bought these May dolls for my father, who was born in the Taisho era. My older brothers also displayed them when they were young. They were likely purchased around Taisho 13 (1924) to the early Showa era. I think the detailed craftsmanship of the warriors and horses is wonderful. However, there is considerable deterioration due to age. Some parts seem to be missing. It appears that the pole for raising the banner of the Senryo-nohata decoration is missing. There are extra parts, but I don't know how to assemble and use them. The flags are generally quite discolored. Therefore, the flags cannot be displayed. There are black spots on the face of one of the warriors. I think they are stains or scratches. The back of Momotaro's head is peeling. There are flower-like objects inserted on both sides of Momotaro's pedestal, but they are too deteriorated to tell what they are. Momotaro and Kintaro look fair-skinned and cute, but in reality, they have a slightly reddish skin tone and I don't think they are very cute (in my opinion). The blade of the sword of the warrior in photo 10 (Shoki?) comes out of the scabbard. If you insert it, it will return to its original position, but it comes out easily. The horns of the helmet of the warrior in photo 6 are rusty. Overall, I think the colors are more subdued than in the photos. The pedestals have scratches and abrasions. In addition, there are many instances of fading, discoloration, scratches, rust, and peeling of adhesive, so please purchase only if you can accept them as antique items. In my amateur opinion, the horses are in relatively good condition. Except for Kintaro, each doll comes in a wooden box. Kintaro is for some reason in a Calpis box, so I will send him as is. Some of the wooden boxes are also damaged. Newspaper will also be used for packaging. I will not sell them separately. Thank you. #ShowaRetro #Vintage #Rare #TangoNoSekku #ChildrensDay #WarriorDolls #Samurai #HorseFigurine #WarriorDolls Antique
