Hina Dolls of the Mitsui Family

The Mitsui family has collected quite a number of hina dolls over the years, and their very own museum welcomes spring by exhibiting these beautiful creations every year. The highlight of the 2014 edition is the impressive five-tiered stand made by Kyoto's Oki Doll Company, which is fully decorated with miniature princesses, while visitors can also check out some of the Mitsuis' utensils, bowls, and other dishes made for use in various formal settings.
