Japanese Kokeshi warriors wearing armour, helmet and a katana.
The pattern comes with two helmet decorations or kuwagata which were inspired by animal motifs and mythical creatures, most of the victorious samurai warriors wore red to generate fear in their opponents on the battle field. These kokeshis can be displayed at home as it is believed to protect the son and that he grows up healthy and strong.
