Paired yūsoku bina dolls authentically replicate the traditional attire of the aristocracy; such dolls were once overseen by the actual clothiers to the court. Their names reflect the emperor doll’s outfit (i.e., sokutai, nōshi, konōshi, or kariginu). The empress doll wears robes of matching formality (here, a kouchigi). Such dolls would be displayed in courtier and warrior family households.
