This item was made using shells. It uses Japanese-style patterned fabric. The base was made by pasting Japanese paper, but there are signs of peeling and lifting. The ties are made of Japanese paper. As this is handmade by an amateur, it is not perfect. Would you like to display it for the Doll Festival (Hina Matsuri) or give it as a souvenir to someone overseas? The size is small. If you understand that this is a handmade item, please consider purchasing it. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details. Thank you for looking.
