Traditional Gogatsuningyo for Children's Day is now on displayed at Gallery Rin.

Children's Day is celebrated on the 5th of May. It is one of the Japanese national holidays. This day is known under a different name: Tango-no-Sekku, and used to be known as Boy's Day.

We display Gogatsuningyo/May doll, worrier dolls or Japanese armor and helmet, whishing for boys to grow strong and wise.

Our armor and helmet which my grandfather ordered, are from Shimazu Kyoto, a local traditional doll company founded about 200 years ago.

Please enjoy it at our Gallery.
