- Lot Description
East Asia, Japan, ca. early 20th century. A wonderful ensemble of four traditional Japanese dolls, each with a bisqueware head, two with bisqueware hands, and all with sumptuous brocade fabric vestments. The two dolls representing youthful females with golden headdresses are kimekomi dolls. Kimekomi is a term that refers to the doll's clothing. The technique for creating them originated in the 18th century. Patterns are cut into wood or foam, and then layers of beautiful fabric are tucked into the cut forms. Size of empress doll: 3.75" L x 6.625" W x 6.5" H (9.5 cm x 16.8 cm x 16.5 cm)
The other two dolls are Hina Ningyo used for the Hina Matsuri Festival (also known as the Girls Festival). Both dressed in traditional costumes, they appear to represent an empress and a male youth. Displaying emperor and empress dolls during festivals began during the early Edo period (1603 - 1868). Other types of dolls (ladies-in-waiting, musicians, guards, and servants) were added later. Aristocrats, samurai, and daimyo classes also traditionally selected a set of hina dolls when it was time for marriage to be incorporated in to the bridal trousseau during the Edo period.
Provenance: private southern California, USA collection, acquired before 2000.
