Motif: Tokugawa Ieyasu / Tokugawa Aoi (Mitsuba Aoi)
Features: A fluffy bear that embraces the symbol of the Tokugawa family, the "Mitsuba Aoi."
Just like Lord Ieyasu, who overcame hardships and achieved national unification, this is for those who wish for perseverance and a stable future. It is a "protective bear" to help you take solid steps forward.
- **Warrior Explanation:**
A Sengoku warlord who endured hardships from childhood as a hostage, yet persevered under the giants of the era such as Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and ultimately unified the country after the Battle of Sekigahara. His greatest achievement was establishing the stable and peaceful Edo period, which lasted over 260 years.
His way of life is famously summarized by the phrase, "If it doesn't bark, wait until it barks — Hototogisu (cuckoo)." His secret to longevity and success was patience, thorough preparation, and concern for health.
- **Family Crest Explanation:**
The "Mitsuba Aoi" of the Tokugawa family is a sacred crest inherited by Lord Ieyasu’s ancestor, the Matsudaira clan, from the Kamo Shrine in Mikawa.
The design, with three leaves strongly united toward the center, symbolizes the authority and unity of the Tokugawa family.
The "Aoi crest" embraced by this bear embodies Lord Ieyasu’s power of "patience and victory," having overcome hardships to achieve peace and stability.
This is a protective bear for those who want to take steady steps forward and build unwavering stability.
