At the beginning of Edo period Samurai families used to display Armor and Helmet to celebrate the birth of a boy while ordinary citizens used a hand-made helmet called Iris Helmet to decorate the gateway. In the later years of Edo period, this display was moved indoors and the armor was added to it. Its handcraft has become sophisticated and they are displayed on chest with the wish of the boy’s heath and prosperity.
