Old Hina Matsuri dolls

Sat, March 3, 2018, by Muza-chan

Hina Dolls are traditional dolls displayed for the March 3 Hina Matsuri celebration in Japan. Their name comes from hinagata meaning miniatures, and the costumes and the accessories worn by the dolls are highly crafted, inspired by the costumes worn at the Imperial court during the Muromachi period.
