Collection of five vintage Hina Ningyo Dolls including stands.

The “hina dolls” (雛人形, hina ningyo) are only displayed when a family has a daughter. 

Usually a set is handed down from generation to generation or the grandparents or parents will buy one for a girl’s first Hina Matsuri. A complete set with traditional dolls can be extremely expensive! 

There is a superstition that the daughter of the house will have a hard time finding a marriage partner if the dolls aren’t put away in the evening of March 3rd!

Beautiful costumes of the Heian period are worn by the hina dolls, representing the Emperor, Empress, attendants, and musicians. They are displayed on a stand (ひな壇, hinadan) that is often covered with a red carpet. The platform can have several levels (up to 7). The most common ones are one-, five- and seven-tiered stands.
