Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!

This is Shibata from Hinasei Dolls in Fujieda City, Shizuoka Prefecture.

Hisaki has impressive big eyes, a rich range of facial expressions, and I'm sure she's also very curious.

Her cute little hands look as if they are about to touch the dolls.
It's a very cute scene, as if the cat is asking us, "Is it okay to touch this?"

From now on, please decorate your Hina dolls with Yosaki every year and enjoy a wonderful festival.

I sincerely hope that Yosaki will be surrounded by lots of smiles and grow up healthy.

Thank you very much for this opportunity.
