Dolls in JAPAN
A
By Susan Foreman
nd thus, after over a year's anticipation, the
day finally arrived. February 22, 2017, marked
the beginning of an amazing Japanese doll
adventure. Along with 14 fellow collectors we were honored
to join ningyo expert, Alan Scott Pate, on a tour of Japan in
conjunction with Hinamatsuri, (the Girls' Festival).
Since ancient times dolls have played an important part
in Japanese culture. The Japanese love of dolls remains
steadfast to this day. To visit Japan during Hinamatsuri
and to observe first hand this appreciation and reverence
for dolls was truly eye opening and awe inspiring.
Prior to our hina-inspired tour when I heard the
word Hinamatsuri I envisioned a red-draped multi-tiered
platform with dolls, furnishings and various utensils
prominently displayed. But I soon realized this was not
always so, as the following brief history will attest.
The Japanese doll festival Hinamatsuri, (also called
Girls' Festival or Peach Blossom Festival) is held annually
on March 3rd. Hina means "small and lovely" and
actually refers to a small chick or baby bird or in this
case a girls' doll. While matsuri means festival.
Hinamatsuri has a long history that can be traced back
to ancient Chinese ritual practices in which people went to
the waterside to cleanse their bodies for purification and
wash away invisible misfortunes on the First Serpent Day
of the Third Month.
"Tachi-Bina" (Yoshitoku Doll Museum) is the earliest known
standardized style of hina. (Hina becomes bina in compounds.)
"Genroku-Bina" (Yoshitoku Doll
Museum) is the second-oldest
sitting hina type and is slightly
larger than the first sitting hina
or "Kanei-bina."
