While Ishogi Hina Dolls are created by letting dolls "wear" clothes to make them look like humans, Kimekomi Dolls are created by sticking fabric to dolls. Therefore, Kimekomi dolls tend to be unique because the artists can be more creative. There are various ways of expression like abstract paintings.

Wishing for a happy life
Handing down something important
As a family event

Ishogi Hina Dolls are created by letting dolls "wear" clothes to make them look like humans. Our Ishogi Hina Dolls are created based on drawings. From the crown to the pedestal, the whole shape is artistically designed to look like a beautiful triangle.

Kimekomi Dolls and Ishogi Dolls are for Hinamatsuri (Doll's Festival)

Hinamatsuri (Doll's Festival) has been handed down from our ancestors as an event where we wish for babies' healthy and happy life, and also an important opportunity for children to touch something beautiful. This has also been a part of education at home. Through the precious experiences of displaying hina dolls for celebration and putting important dolls in boxes gently, children can learn discipline, responsibility, and hospitality.
