A lovely purple kimono: Hina doll for the first Doll Festival: Mr. Inoue from Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture

Hello.

My name is Inoue and I recently purchased a Hina doll from Hinasei.

Thank you for your kind letter, so I emailed you to say I would like to enter your photo contest.

My daughter was born on October 30th, and this will be her first Hinamatsuri, so I have been looking for a Hina doll since around December.
I couldn't go out much, so I spent my days searching on the Internet, but I still wanted to see the face of the Hina dolls before deciding, so I went to a nearby department store and looked at the displays, but nothing really caught my eye.

I live in an apartment so I can't afford to display anything too grand, but I also didn't want anything that felt like interior decor either, so I was worried about that, when I came across Hinasei on Instagram.
I fell in love with his kind face at first sight.

In particular, Natsuki Hina's purple kimono is a color I've never seen anywhere else, so I thought, "This is it!"
I was a little worried about buying a Hina doll online, but after looking at the catalog I was able to make the purchase with peace of mind.

When it arrived, my husband and I put it on display while our daughter was taking a nap. It's compact but has a strong presence, and the purple kimono is just as beautiful as ever. I'm really glad I chose it.

When my daughter woke up, I picked her up and gave her a good look, and she stared at her intently.

On the day of Hinamatsuri, I dressed up in a hakama.
I will send you a photo of that.
I'd like to decorate them together next year.

Thank you very much for this wonderful Hina doll.
I will treasure it and decorate it every year.

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!

I'm Kurebayashi, a staff member at Hinasei.

All the staff were touched by the girl's smile...

I'm glad you like the face of the princess.
We also believe that the face of a Hina doll is important.
Since this is a Hina doll that will watch over your child as they grow, we have been particular about the face it has, as we want it to be looked at with a gentle and loving gaze.

I'm sure your daughter was surprised to wake up from her nap and find the Hina dolls there.
The episode where he stared at her makes me feel his greatness.

I hope you'll enjoy it together for a long time.
Thank you very much for this opportunity.
