"Itowokashi" Hina Dolls that Adorn Japanese Landscapes with the Colors of the Four Seasons

"Itowokashi" refers to something that is very beautiful and tasteful. The "Itowokashi" landscapes, inspired by the scenery described in The Pillow Book and the unique philosophy of "living with celebrations" throughout the four seasons, are expressed in these Hina dolls. It is a world of gentle Waka poetry. These Hina doll displays are compact and picturesque, making them suitable as seasonal interior decor. Along with the seasonal festival, we convey the "Itowokashi" traditional beauty of Japan.

The doll's facial features, characteristic of Japanese people, allow you to appreciate the depth of its expression from any angle.

Beautiful Back View

Captivating with a Heian-inspired hairstyle
　

Many Hina dolls have a "osuberakashi" hairstyle, which is voluminous around the face. In the Heian period, "taregami" (垂髪) referred to hair that flowed down the back. This long, flowing hair is often seen in illustrations of classical picture scrolls. This time, we made Hina dolls whose hairstyles are mainly tied back, so that their back view can also be enjoyed.

Easy-to-display compact Hina dolls　
　

These are the smallest dolls among costume dolls. Although compact, the wide-sized folding screen and other elements allow for a relaxed display, creating a luxurious finish that doesn't feel small. The sophisticated design blends seamlessly with modern interiors, emphasizing the overall atmosphere. They are sized to be displayed on cabinets in entryways or living rooms.

Sophisticated Folding Screen and Display Stand

The display stand, edged with light wood and in matte grey, comes with matching "gyokudai" stands.

The delicate Japanese paper folding screen is adorned with an elegant silver Shippo pattern.

❖ What is Shippo? ❖

Shippo refers to the seven treasures mentioned in Buddhism. These seven treasures—gold, silver, crystal, lapis lazuli, agate, coral, and clam shell—symbolize wealth, prosperity, and high status. As a pattern, the Shippo design represents "all the treasures in the world" and "infinite progeny prosperity" through its infinitely linked circles, making it an auspicious motif. It embodies wishes for harmony, unity, and connections, symbolizing that human bonds and relationships are as valuable as the seven treasures.

 

Work tag that expresses the worldview
　

　　

The wooden tag with a clean logo is legless and can be displayed at an angle, allowing for a simpler presentation. While respecting classical elements, the fine details of the display stand, folding screen, and work tag are stylish, embodying the serene Japanese landscape—a representation of Wabi-Sabi. Just as Japan is called the "Land of the Rising Sun," we hope you will enjoy not only the scenery but also the play of light and shadow on the display stand and folding screen when displaying the Hina dolls.
