2. Causes and solutions for stains on Hina dolls! How to prevent stains without damaging the material
There are several reasons why spots can appear on the face of a Hina doll, but the main cause is oil and dust from the hands .
In particular, if you touch it directly with your hands, the oil will often appear as a stain over time.
The spots can appear in different locations and colors, but they often look like light brown spots .

Plaster is a very delicate material.
Although gypsum, whose main component is calcium sulfate , is hard, it is vulnerable to external influences and is easily damaged by moisture and friction.
In particular, scrubbing with a wet cloth can scrape the surface, so care must be taken.
To prevent stains, it is important to first remove dust regularly .
If dust accumulates for a long time, it can absorb moisture and cause stains and mold.
Also, when handling Hina dolls, you should wear gloves whenever possible or clean your hands before handling them to prevent oil from getting on them.
