This doll has been in a box for 100 years in a Japanese doll store’s warehouse. Because of this, the doll’s face and costume have been kept in very good condition. This is a well-made, handmade Hina doll. The carefully crafted doll has a kneaded head, and a mold is made from powdered paulownia wood hardened with glue. The clay is then coated with layers of GOFUN (kneaded shell powder) to create the eyes and nose, giving it a lively expression. Japan was in a period of turmoil during World War II, and carefully crafted dolls did not exist. After that, many were mass-produced and crudely made. Unfortunately, many of the faces of modern mass-produced dolls are made of plastic and have little expression. However, this doll tells us about the good old times of 100 years ago and the passage of time. Explanation of Hina Dolls.
