Doll
udaijin 右大臣
1600-1868 | Ernst von Stein
The dolls of the lady of the court Kuwae no chōshi and of the minister of the right Udaijin, both standing under a large, hand-blown glass cover, probably represent an ensemble. This group was displayed annually on the occasion of the Girls’ Day hinamatsuri on the third day of the third month, by families who had female children. The costume of the court lady, with numerous layers of heavy silk fabric, corresponds to that of the Heian period (794 – 1185).
