If you visit Kyoto,I recommend "Tanaka Doll Shop".(京人形 田中彌）
You can see these all dolls in this shop.
This is long-established famous shop since 1808.
(Attention: The dolls change every season.)
The above three pictures are "Hina-ningyo".
We celebrate the Girls' Festival on March 3.
Parents who have little girl display these kind of dolls in their house on that day.
The above three pictures are "Ichimatsu-ningyo".（市松人形）
These are originally a doll for dress-up.
These are traditional craft in Japan.
Kyoto girl in ancient times.
These are good for souvenir when you visit Kyoto,I think.
OMG, I wish I could arrange autentic hina matsuri day in our home. We have no dolls:(
