New wave hina dolls

Arts and crafts

Ms. Yukako Goto is a hina doll creator in Gifu Prefecture.
The hina dolls she creates are very new and individual.
Their beauty is as if it will take you away to a dream land….
Originally, hina dolls are given by grandparents but it also would be nice
if adult women buy hina dolls for themselves to enjoy looking at them every day.

Notes : Hina dolls are displayed mostly during February until March 3rd,
which is the day of Hina-matsuri(The Doll Festival).
The day is on which wishes are expressed for the future happiness of girls.
