This is an original hina doll supervised by Emi Wada, a renowned costume designer who has won an Academy Award in the U.S. The doll features a standing display of the prince and princess, meticulously dressed by the traditional artisan Nisei Kōshō, allowing you to appreciate its beauty.
The piece is themed around the world of "Hikaru Genji," showcasing Wada's signature beautiful color palette of red and black. The elegant doll stands out beautifully against the luxurious black lacquered display stand and the classical gold folding screen.
Additionally, a striking branch of red and white plum blossoms enhances the overall aesthetic, perfectly complementing the refined colors that characterize Wada's style.
Hina dolls are said to embody the tradition of "Hitogata" (dolls that take on a person's misfortunes) and the "Hina Asobi" (doll play) practiced during the Heian period.
