Standing雛 Dolls, Matching Box Set Artist: Toyo Kawamura Description: The depicted peach blossoms are displayed behind the雛 dolls, symbolizing prayers for the dolls themselves, growth, and warding off evil spirits. Standing雛 dolls originated from "人形 (hitogata)" and "形代 (katashiro)," paper figures in the shape of a person, used as substitutes for spirits. These figures were used to transfer misfortune and were floated down rivers, which is said to be the root of雛 dolls. The Doll Festival is, of course, a prayer for the growth of girls, but it is also good to pray for the health of the family and the happiness of those who have helped you during the changing of the seasons, which is the original meaning of the five seasonal festivals. The original price was high, and the design of each pattern is detailed and delicate, with gradations of color in the peaches, pines, and the undergarments of the Emperor and Empress. This work is attractive with its gentle colors and elegant, lustrous red. Height: Approximately 189cm Width: Approximately 54.5cm Small, light brown stains on the upper part of the scroll. The wooden box and the main body are in near-new condition and are very beautiful. Please check the profile of Ekeko before purchasing. E
