What kind of Hina doll should I get? :Sakura-chan from Kisarazu City:

The first festival of Hinamatsuri

Thank you so much for sending us such a lovely doll this time.
As my daughter's first Hinamatsuri (celebration) day, born in August, approached, I began to wonder what kind of Hina doll she should get, and decided to start by doing some research online.
I couldn't decide whether to get a prince and princess display or a three-tiered display, so I went to a nearby store to take a look.
The three-tiered display is unexpectedly large, so I'm not sure where to display it...maybe in the bedroom?
After that, I found a product on the internet that I couldn't decide on, but the face wasn't clearly visible, and since it was an expensive purchase, I was very worried about buying it without seeing it in person.

When I was at a loss as to what to do, I suddenly started to wonder how I wanted to display the Hina dolls, and how I wanted to display them with my daughter.
I am currently on maternity leave but still work full time.
I have three children, and my daughter has two mischievous older brothers.

I can't display the three-tiered display in front of my sons... I'll have to display it in my bedroom for a while, but will I be able to display it every year while I work? Also, will I be able to grow attached to a product that I can't see clearly? ... I pictured myself displaying the dolls that my daughter and I love every year, in a place where we can see them whenever we want.

So I searched for "carefully crafted Hina dolls" and came across Hinasei.
The moment I opened the website, I was captivated.
I had no idea such a beautiful Hina doll existed...

A beautiful face, a beautiful kimono, carefully selected folding screens and accessories...it's truly wonderful.
Even as an adult, I was excited.
Even just the face of the Hina dolls was carefully designed with lots of photographs and a lot of attention to detail, and I could sense the confidence and pride that the people who work here have in their work.
My mind was already made up.
When I told my husband, "Let's buy it here!" he said, "Isn't it expensive?" But when I explained my preference, he agreed to buy the best Hina dolls.

The doll arrived and I immediately opened it.
When I first saw the Hina doll's face, I let out a whoop.
It's just as beautiful as I imagined it would be. And when I held it in my hands, it felt big and solid.

While my children were still small, I put it on top of a chest of drawers so that it would be displayed high up.
You can see it from the kitchen. It's so cute. It feels natural and like it's been there for a long time.
My husband seemed to feel the same way, and didn't even notice the strange feeling at first when he came home from work.
When she noticed the Hina dolls, she said, "Wow, that's nice!" and she really liked them.

On the day of Hinamatsuri, we celebrated with our grandparents and had a great time.
My daughter Sakura may not know yet, but I'm sure she'll love her Hina dolls.
It's so cute, it's so beautiful, I love it, and I'm looking forward to displaying it together.

I look forward to watching my daughter grow and creating wonderful memories every year.
I was sad to put it away, thinking I'd put it away again next year.
I'm glad I found a Hina doll that made me want to meet it soon.
Please continue to do your best in creating beautiful and beloved Hina dolls.
thank you very much.

Once I had a clear understanding of this, I felt like I had found a wonderful Hina doll.
