SHP159 - Hina doll Nishijin-ori shikishi 雛人形

This delightful vintage shikishi art piece features an elegant depiction of Hina dolls (雛人形), handcrafted using luxurious Nishijin-ori (西陣織) fabric. Set against a simple background adorned with blooming plum blossoms, the composition captures the timeless charm and festive spirit of Hinamatsuri (Girls' Day or Doll’s Festival), celebrated on March 3rd in Japan. The male doll (Obina) is dressed in a finely patterned hakama and a dark floral kimono, while the female doll (Mebina) wears a striking red and gold kimono with intricate brocade details, both created from traditional Kyoto-woven textiles. The layered textures and sheen of the Nishijin fabric lend the dolls a refined and dimensional appearance, enhancing their regal aura. Above the dolls, plum blossoms in full bloom symbolize renewal, purity, and celebration, further emphasizing the festive nature of the piece. This shikishi not only serves as a decorative homage to Japanese seasonal tradition but also showcases the beauty of Kyoto's textile craftsmanship, making it a graceful and culturally rich addition to any collection or space.
