I can't forget her face... : Searching for a doll for the first annual festival: Ibuki-chan from Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture

Dear Hinasei, Nice to meet you.

Last year, I purchased a standing Hina doll from Hinasei.
I had planned to buy a Hina doll for my daughter, who was born in November, in time for her first Doll's Festival, but time passed while I was looking for one.

Although there were some things I liked, I was worried that rushing into the purchase would result in a mistake, so I reluctantly gave up on buying any that year and celebrated with a paper clay Hina doll that my brother had made...

Then, last year, I started looking for a Hina doll again. I requested many catalogs and considered carefully, but I could not forget the face of the Hina doll that I had given up on buying for the first Hinamatsuri.
That was Hinasei-san's Hina doll.
She had a soft, human-like face that was different from the dolls I saw at other doll shops, and I fell in love with her at first sight.
I thought, "This doll is the best!" and so I bought it.

This year, we were able to celebrate the festival without any problems, praying for my daughter's healthy growth and happy future.
I hope this Hina doll will continue to watch over my daughter forever.

Thank you for the wonderful encounter.

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!

I'm Yoshinaga, a staff member at Hina Dolls.

Thank you for the adorable photos.
The paper clay Hina doll that your brother made was also very warm and beautiful, and I think it was a great first Doll's Festival.
And thank you for choosing our dolls.
I hope you will also display the Hina dolls handmade by your older brother and cherish them together.

Ibuki looks like she's having a lot of fun sitting on her big brother's lap!
I wonder if they will play with the Hina dolls together, and I'm sure they will have fun doing that as well.
Apparently, standing dolls are easy to let children play with, and some children even ask to sleep with them, causing trouble for their parents.

Thank you very much for this opportunity.
