Carefully crafted Hina dolls: Matsumura-san of Yatsushiro City: First Doll Festival
Carefully crafted Hina dolls: Matsumura-san of Yatsushiro City: First Doll Festival
I am very late in thanking you.
My name is Matsumura from Yatsushiro City, Kumamoto Prefecture. My first grandchild, a girl, was born on December 21st, and I was in a rush to order a Kyogoku Hina doll at the end of the year.
I was very happy that I asked Mr. Aoki for a favor and he even included a decorative Hina doll as an added bonus.
The Hina doll that arrived had a beautiful face that I had never seen before, and the doll itself was very beautiful.
Of course, my daughter and her husband loved it too.
The dolls were made completely differently from those sold in the nearby Hina doll section, and were so carefully made and gorgeously beautiful that you could really see the delicate work of the craftsmen.
This year we will only display the Hina dolls, but we plan to postpone celebrating the first Hinamatsuri until next year as the baby is still young.
The Hina dolls are displayed on the second floor of the restaurant run by the couple's daughter.
Most of the neighbors are discerning people who run their own shops and when they saw the dolls they said that their faces were beautiful and that it was rare to find such beautiful dolls.
In particular, the elderly women praised it highly, saying they had never seen anything like it before.
I was able to purchase a Hina doll from Hinasei. I was very grateful that I was able to find a rare and beautiful Hina doll online, and was able to come across it and purchase it.
Unfortunately, we had to postpone the first festival this year, so I wasn't able to take any good photos.
All I have is a photo of me, a 47-year-old middle-aged woman, and my 25-year-old daughter, without any makeup on, taking care of the baby.
The baby's father, a handsome 35-year-old man, was working as a chef in the restaurant at the time.
I wanted to express my gratitude properly, so I sent an email (^_^;)

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!
I'm Yoshinaga, a staff member at Hina Dolls.
Thank you for your kind letter.
You can feel the fun atmosphere!
I felt so blessed to have been raised in a bright and lively household, surrounded by a young and energetic grandmother, a mother who could stand out even without makeup (sorry, I can't find a good way to say it...), and a handsome father.
Thank you for loving the faces of our Hina dolls. Our craftsmen work carefully to create faces that are kind, bright and warm, and reflect the feelings of our customers.
I hope you will enjoy decorating it every year.
If you celebrate your child's festival next year, please send us your photos and we will post them.
All our staff are looking forward to seeing you.
Thank you very much for this opportunity.
