Enjoying Hina Dolls—The Doll Festival in the Established Families

The hina dolls that decorated the towns from the Edo period onward differed in appearance from the extravagant high-society dolls distinctive of the daimyō families that were passed down through the Owari Tokugawa family. In contrast, these were plain and had an easy familiarity. This exhibition presents various dolls from the Edo period to the Shōwa period that have been donated to the Tokugawa Art Museum in recent years.
