There are various reasons for looking for chicks and helmets for seasonal interiors, hoping for the healthy growth of children, but the common thing is that they want to please someone.
In addition to figurines such as Hina dolls, bonbori, carp streamers, helmets, and May dolls, we also offer a warm time unique to handicrafts, where you can enjoy incorporating the seasons into your life, including sake sets, tableware, and miscellaneous goods such as jewelry.
