Hadaka (lit. “naked”) dolls like these are typified by their beautiful skin. They are made of wood and are painted with gofun crushed shell powder pigments. The dolls here represent the Seven Gods of Good Fortune. Each god is identified by his attribute. They are dressed in a haragake (cloth covering tied over the chest and abdomen), or wear a haori overcoat made of chirimen crepe.
