説明
タペストリー「兜」
麻の葉オリジナルの手ぬぐい「兜」を和紙に表装し御仕立てしたタペストリーです。
端午の節句を祝い、男の子の成長を願って作られた昔の幟旗を再現し、勇壮な兜と菖蒲を繊細でありがなら力強く描いた作品です。
江戸時代に将軍家で始まった端午の節句。男の子が生まれると鯉のぼりを掲げたり、武具を飾って、誕生をお祝いしました。武士にとって鎧は自分の身を守るための大切な装身具で、鎧兜を飾ることで我が子を強く守ってもらえるようにという願いが込められています。
子供の日の季節に盛期を迎える菖蒲は古くから薬草として使われ、邪気を祓う厄除けの効果があるとされています。また「勝負」や「尚武」という将軍家由来の行事ならではの縁起の良い響きから、男の子がたくましく成長するようにという願いと共に、端午の節句を飾る植物や菖蒲湯の風習として現代に伝わっています。
絵柄に込められた縁起の良い意味と共にこどもの日のインテリア、出産や初節句、お食い初めお祝い、結婚祝い、引っ越し祝い、開店祝いなどおめでたい時節の贈答品にもおすすめです。また日本の伝統工芸品「掛軸」は外国の方へのプレゼントや海外への日本土産にも喜ばれます。

Tapestry “Kabuto”
This tapestry is made by mounting the original Asanoha Tenugui ‘Kabuto’ on Japanese paper.
This work reproduces the old banner flags made to celebrate Boys’ Festival and to wish for the growth of boys, and depicts the heroic helmets and irises in a delicate, yet powerful manner.
Tango-no Sekku began in the Edo period (1603-1867) in the Shogun’s household. When a boy was born, they celebrated his birth by hoisting carp streamers and decorating them with armour. For warriors, armour was an important item of personal protection, and by displaying armour helmets, the wish was expressed that the child would be strongly protected.
Iris, which reaches its peak during the Children’s Day season, has long been used as a medicinal herb and is believed to be effective in driving away evil spirits. The auspicious sound of ‘victory’ and ‘Shobu’, which is unique to events originating from the Shogun family, has been passed down to the present day in the form of plants used to decorate Boys’ Day and the custom of iris baths, together with the wish that boys will grow up strong and vigorous.
This product is also recommended as a gift for Children’s Day interior decoration, births, first festivals, the first meal of the year, wedding celebrations, housewarming celebrations, store-opening celebrations and other festive occasions, together with the auspicious meaning of the design. Kakejiku, a traditional Japanese craft, are also appreciated as gifts for foreign people and as Japanese souvenirs overseas.
