In Ukiha City’s Yoshii Town, an extensive collection of Hina dolls, dating from the Edo period to contemporary times, is showcased to the public. This exhibition ranges from opulent decorations in historic homes to unique Hina dolls found in private residences. What sets the Dolls Festival in Yoshii Town apart is its embodiment of the people’s Hina dolls. These displays are enriched by “Okiage” – handcrafted decorative pieces made by local women, drawing inspiration from Hina dolls, Kabuki, and Ukiyo-e, arranged artistically around “Hako-bina” (boxed dolls). This event allows for a delightful exploration of the town’s charm, accentuated by its streets adorned with traditional white-walled storehouses, offering a memorable journey through the Dolls Festival.
