Pair of hinamatsuri ひな祭り (Girls' Festival) representing the emperor (obina) and empress (mebina), adorned in lavish brocade silk kimonos. Their visages are meticulously crafted to mirror the distinguished appearance of nobility, with their delicate skin achieved through multiple applications of gofun 胡粉, a fine powder derived from the itabo oyster (Ostrea denselamellosa). Both figures are positioned on a platform resembling a raised tatami.
Referred to as the imperial dolls (内裏雛 (だいりびな), dairi-bina), these figurines occupy the highest platform in the traditional multi-tiered doll arrangement, symbolizing the imperial palace (dairi).
Period: Japan – 19th century (Late Edo period/Early Meiji period).
