Hina Dolls and May Dolls: SDGs Declaration: Fujieda City, Shizuoka Prefecture First Doll Festival - Hinamatsuri Dolls
In recent years, the world has become increasingly concerned with not using gasoline and choosing environmentally friendly products.
This trend is accelerating.
When we make Hina dolls,
I was inspired by this movement and decided to make a big change.
In the past, paints had a strong thinner smell;
The production site was a strain on the craftsmen's bodies and minds.
"Is it okay to make a doll for your precious child in an environment like this?"
That's the question that arose in my mind.
So we have completely renovated our manufacturing environment to a safe one using water-based paints .
We reviewed all the equipment, including the workshop and tools.
The finish is safe even if a baby accidentally licks it .
We make our products with all our heart.
From now on, "The whole family can gather around the Hina dolls in peace"
With this future in mind, we will continue to create environmentally friendly dolls.

Hinasei's Hina dolls are manufactured in accordance with the SDGs and are environmentally friendly.
Many of the methods used to make Hina dolls are traditional and have been used for many years.
Some processes remain that are not in line with today's environmental concerns.
For example, when decorating wooden Hina dolls,
The most common method was to spray oil-based paint containing strong thinners.
However, we believe that because dolls are used by babies and children,
I want to change it to a more secure method.
All paint and fixtures have been redesigned.
Currently, we mainly use water-based paints.
We have created a painting environment that is odorless and highly safe.
All the equipment and painting tools in the workshop have been replaced with new ones.
