<\/p>\r\nAn exhibition of hina dolls made from the early to late Showa period has begun at the \u201cEshin-no-sato Memorial Museum\u201d and \u201cItakura-tei Soba Restaurant\u201d in Itakura-ward, Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture.<\/p>\r\n
The display of hina dolls began six years ago when a resident of Itakura-ward donated hina dolls to the Eshin-no-sato Memorial Hall. All the donated dolls are displayed at the Eshin-no-sato Memorial Hall (15 sets) and at the Itakura-tei Soba Restaurant (5 sets).<\/p>\r\n
The dolls were made from the early to late Showa period, and the expressions and materials used differ with each period.<\/p>\r\n Most dolls from the 40s to 50s of the Showa period have plump, rounded faces and are similar in design to today’s hina dolls. They are made of resin.<\/p>\r\n This is the oldest one on display, about 90 years old. It is said that human hair was used for the hair.<\/p>\r\n Director Yamada, Eshin-no-sato Memorial Museum Dolls also differ depending on where they were made. This is an 8-tiered \u201cKyo-bina\u201d doll made in Kyoto.<\/p>\r\n Unlike the \u201cKanto-bina\u201d made in the Kanto region, the lord sits on the right side facing you and the hina-sama on the left.<\/p>\r\n The props held by the dolls in the sixth tier, \u201cKanto-bina\u201d are shoes.<\/p>\r\n![\"Still0131_00003\"](\"https:\/\/www.joetsu.ne.jp\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Still0131_00003-2.jpg\")

\r\nThe face of the statue was placed flat in the past, and if you look closely, you can see that the face is facing upward. It must have been made to make it easier to see the face.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/a><\/p>\r\n
