Vintage Japanese Decorative Samurai Armor for Boys' Festival

This is a vintage miniature samurai armor (Yoroi) set used for display decoration during the Boys' Festival. It is housed in a glossy black lacquered wooden box with a beautiful red flat silk cord and gold metal embellishments. It contains multiple pieces including: Helmet with dragon ornament and finials, mask, body piece, draping bottom panels, a pair of shin guards, a pair of shoes, and a wooden stand. The armor is tied together with brown leather strips. It comes with a wooden display sign. The armor features floral designs in gold-colored metal and fabrics. Overall, this piece is red, brown, black, and gold. The box paired with the stand creates the illusion of a seated armored man.
The Boys' Festival, more modernly called Children's Day, is an annual Japanese holiday on May 5th every year and is celebrated to pray for good health and fortune for growing children.
