Meiji-style hina dolls created by master craftsman Heizo Oki
Sometime between February and April every year—around the time of Hinamatsuri (Girls’ Festival)—Yodoko Guest House puts the Yamamura family’s collection of hina dolls on public display.
The dolls were created by the Maruhei Oki Doll Shop, a long-established shop in Kyoto. They were delivered to the Yamamura family in the Meiji Period (around 1900).
The beauty of these dolls transcends time. Created using the best techniques and materials of the day, these dolls are masterpieces with exceptional cultural value.
