【Product details】

Discover the allure of Japanese craftsmanship with this enchanting collection of 15 antique dolls, spanning the Meiji period. Each doll tells a story of a bygone era, showcasing intricate details and traditional attire that reflect the cultural richness of Japan. This diverse set includes captivating figures such as musicians from a Hina doll set, a noblewoman accompanied by a Chin dog, a valiant warrior, and other beloved characters like the celestial maiden and Daikokuten, the god of wealth. The collection also features an old woman from the Takasago couple, symbolizing longevity and happiness.

These dolls, with their delicate hand-painted faces and finely crafted garments, are not just collectibles but treasured pieces of history. Though they bear the marks of time—subtle scuffs, fabric tears, hair loss, and missing accessories—these imperfections only add to their authenticity and charm. Most dolls require support to stand, further emphasizing their age and authenticity.

Please review the photos carefully to appreciate the beauty and condition of each doll in this remarkable set.
