| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. Note: Hinamatsuri (Hina-matsuri), also called Doll's Day or Girls' Day, is a special day in Japan. [1] Hinamatsuri is celebrated each year on March 3.[2] Platforms covered with a red carpet are used to display a set of ornamental dolls (hina-ningyō) representing the Emperor, Empress, attendants, and musicians in traditional court dress of the Heian period [3] ... The Kantō region and Kansai region have different placement orders of the dolls from left to right, but the order of dolls per level are the same ... The top tier holds two dolls, known as imperial dolls (dairi-bina). These are the Emperor (Odairi-sama) holding a ritual baton (shaku) and Empress (Ohime-sama) holding a fan. The words dairi means "imperial palace", and hime means "girl" or "princess"."--Wikipedia. Note: Original caption information provided for this image as: Emperor is placed to Right of Empress Doll Show Window set up for Emp. & Empress Dolls "O Dairisama". |
