An exhibition of Hina dolls made from the hand-woven fabric "Saga Nishiki" that has been passed down since the Edo period is being held at the Prefectural Museum in Saga City.
Saga Nishiki is a hand-woven fabric invented in the late Edo period by the Kashima Nabeshima domain, which was a branch domain of the Saga domain.
The feature is that the warp threads are made of Japanese paper coated with lacquer or gold, and the weft threads are made of silk.
At the venue, 19 Saga Nishiki Hina dolls made by Saga Nishiki writer Ikuko Fujiyama are on display.
Of these, the five-tiered decoration is nearly 50 cm in height, width, and depth, and 15 dolls such as "Obina" and "Mebina" are wearing Saga Nishiki kimono.
"Mebina" kimono is finished by weaving red and orange silk thread and lacquer Japanese paper.
Mr. Fujiyama said, "The costume of the doll is cute for young faces and chic for elegant faces. If people who come to see the work think" I want to weave it myself " I'm happy. "
This exhibition is open until the 10th of this month.
