Miniature Hina Doll Set of 5, No. 2 - Light Blue

Created by artist Sadako Omoto with a delicate sense of color,
“Hinamame” is a one-of-a-kind set of Hina dolls.

While cherishing Japan’s ancient traditions and beautiful customs,
this small five-piece Hina doll set can be casually displayed
in modern living spaces.
The charm of Hinamame lies in its meticulous craftsmanship.

These charming, plump, bean-shaped Hina dolls
are crafted using the traditional Japanese craft of wood inlay.
Their costumes are made from rare vintage fabrics
carefully preserved since the Meiji and Taisho eras through the early Showa period.
Fine Edo chirimen and exquisite fabrics featuring delicate embroidery and tie-dyeing
were sourced from all over Japan.
Their distinctive colors, patterns, and textures add an elegant touch.

The gentle expressions of the Hina dolls and the Inu-bako dog box
are carefully painted by a professional doll face artist.
The auspicious motif of the Hina-marudai marbles
is individually molded from stone-plastic clay
and finished with layers of soft color.
They come to life when displayed on the beeswax-finished pedestal.

The Hagoita paddle is a charm to ward off evil spirits.
The tied braided cord gently invites happiness.
The Chigi-bako box is a lucky charm from Shiba Grand Shrine that has been passed down since the Edo period
and remains popular today for bringing good fortune in love.
Although it is not originally a Hina display accessory,
this small three-tiered box adorned with charming wisteria blossoms
has been crafted to match the world of Hinamame.

The vermilion-painted oil lamp,
the O-sho dais framed with vintage fabrics from the prestigious Takimura Art Textile,
the round balls carefully wound with lustrous silk threads one by one,
and the large and small abalone shells with their elaborate painting and inlay.
These delicately crafted accessories create a vibrant and festive display.

The gold folding screen features custom-ordered gold leaf paper from Rekiseisha,
which is loved by people around the world and used by renowned hotels and museums,
including GUCCI and HERMES.
This one-of-a-kind gold-leaf technique, which carries on Japan’s ancient aesthetic,
retains its dignified radiance even as time passes.

Hinamame blends seamlessly into any interior, from French to Scandinavian styles.

It is a popular choice not only as a gift for a child’s first seasonal festival,
but also as a seasonal display to enjoy like arranging flowers or as a special treat for yourself.

It is delivered in a custom-made paulownia wood box.
Paulownia wood is highly resistant to insects, decay, and moisture, and is flame-retardant,
safely protecting the delicate Hina dolls.
Insect repellent is also included for use during storage.

It is beautiful not only as a storage box but also as a display stand,
and is easy to take in and out.
It is wonderful that you can display it without feeling overwhelmed.
A sample photo is included, so even first-time users can display it with peace of mind.
