What makes these different from some other hina dolls on view here? Note the inset glass eyes and the accurate court garments. The empress doll wears lavishly embroidered robes. These are an example of Kokin bina, a type of doll developed in the 1770s by an Edo (Tokyo) dollmaker named Hara Shūgetsu.
