ANTIQUE 1896 JAPANESE 10 HINA DOLL SET Original Storage Boxes / Gofun Glass Eyes

Description

​A set of ten hina dolls still stored in their two original, dated, wood boxes.
The boxes are dated 1896 (Meiji 29, see photo # 11) and for "The Kimura Family"
They have various items the dolls carried such as swords, bows, arrows, Empress crown, hats, etc. (Photo # 9 for close up)
When we found these in Kyoto, all of their heads / faces were wrapped in soft tissues to protect the gofun (powdered oyster shell) and their inset glass eyes. (Photo # 10)
They have real hair although the empresses hair is thinning from wearing her hand made metal crown. Some of the beads from her crown have come loose but are included with the other items.
We will ship these with their original boxes in two shipments. (Two boxes)
If the buyer wants to save on shipping and wants only the dolls and not the wood boxes, we can make arrangements.
