Two Imperial Dolls from a set of 10 Hina dolls. [Only purchase if you are purchasing the complete set of 10 Hina dolls. The three court ladies and the five musicians are listed on a separate page.] These dolls were likely made about 60 years ago. They have very elegant faces. The costumes also express the elegance of the Heian period and are elaborately made. Some small items are missing, so please check the images. Also, some of the black lacquered bases have mold, but it can be removed by wiping with a damp cloth and then wiping dry. About Takehara Bunraku: Takehara Bunraku was founded by a single puppeteer, Ichiro Douoku, from Takehara, Gero City, Gifu Prefecture (formerly Takehara Village). He dedicated his life to the art of puppet theater and puppet making, and because he had no successor, it is considered a phantom art limited to one generation. However, his elaborate dolls are still exhibited and preserved today. Douoku manipulated dozens of puppets by himself, made his own costumes and wigs, and pursued his own unique expressions while inheriting the traditions of Bunraku. - Type: Hina dolls - Set contents: 2 dolls and decorations - Features: Luxurious costumes and traditional design Thank you for viewing.
