徳川家康（Ieyasu Tokugawa）1541～1616
※７２０ｍｌの四号瓶・ワインボトル などに装着可能です。

徳川家康は、織田信長と同盟し、豊臣秀吉と対立・臣従した後、日本全国を支配する体制を確立して、15世紀後半に起こった応仁の乱から100年以上続いた戦乱の時代に終止符を打ち、江戸幕府の礎を築きました。
しかし、彼の人生は屈辱と忍耐の連続でした。幼い頃から人質として諸国をたらいまわしにされ、その途中で信長と出会います。信長と竹千代（家康の幼名）は義兄弟のちぎりを交わし、
当時仕えていた駿河の大名・今川義元が信長に殺された事を機に独立し、信長の同盟者として、戦乱に身を投じました。
「鳴くまで待とうホトトギス」「織田がつき、羽柴がこねし てんかもち、すわりしままに食うは徳川」という歌に示されるように、忍耐の人と認識されていますが、若い頃は割と血の気が多い人だったと言われています。
ZIPANGでは、そんな伝説を持つ徳川家康の甲冑を、「ボトルアーマー」として精巧にミニチュア化。戦国を駆け抜けた男たちの武勇伝に思いを馳せながら、お気に入りのお酒をお楽しみ下さい。

Tokugawa Ieyasu put a period to the Sengoku era lasting over 100 years since the ?nin war which happened in late 15th century, and built the foundation of Edo Shogunate. He had leagued with Oda Nobunaga, and made his position against and pay homage to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, then he made the system to control the whole country. However his life has been continuous of patience and humiliation. He had been passed around among other clans as a hostage since he was a child, and one day he met Nobunaga. Nobunaga
and Takechiyo (a childhood name of Ieyasu) exchanged the pledge of brothers. After Nobunaga killed Imagawa Yoshimoto who was the Daimyo in Suruga and Ieyasu was serving for, Ieyasu decided to be independent and committed himself to wars as an ally of Nobunaga. There are the songs that tells you Ieyasu’s character. “If a cuckoo doesn’t sing, I’ll wait until it sings.” “Oda pounded the rice cake, and Hashiba kneaded it, then Tokugawa eat it.” Ieyasu is known as the man with patience, but also known he was a hot-blooded when he was young.
ZIPANG made an armor of Tokugawa Ieyasu with such legend elaborately miniaturized. Giving more than a passing thought to heroic stories of men running through the Sengoku period, please enjoy your favorite sake.
