Description

Traditional Japanese Hina doll, specifically one depicting a reclining figure, likely a court lady or a performer from the Heian period. • Part of Hinamatsuri: These dolls are a central part of Hinamatsuri, also known as Doll's Day or Girls' Day, celebrated annually in Japan on March 3rd to pray for the happiness, growth, and good health of girls. • Symbolic Representation: Hina dolls represent the imperial court, with the Emperor and Empress dolls typically placed on the top tier of a tiered platform display. • Historical Significance: The tradition of displaying Hina dolls evolved from the Muromachi period and gained widespread popularity during the Edo period, reflecting a wish for the dolls to act as surrogates, protecting girls from misfortune and embodying blessings for their well-being.
