A set of Hina dolls by Kiyuu Shimizu, luxuriously adorned in prestigious obi fabric.

The Emperor and Empress dolls are dressed in a rich golden-brown ensemble layered with vibrant colors. The beauty of the delicate weave and the graceful dressing, crafted with masterful skill, gives them a dignified presence.

This set of Imperial dolls combines traditional charm with refined beauty, harmonizing with the folding screen depicting a tranquil mountain range.


An Elegant Layering of Colors

The Empress doll is dressed in a gorgeous ensemble layered with deep red, navy, and ecru over a golden-brown base of exquisite obi fabric.

The woven patterns that shine beautifully in the light and the delicate layering of colors spreading from the sleeves express the elegant beauty of the twelve-layered court dress.

This is a dignified and graceful ensemble that uses vibrant accent colors within a subdued palette.

Kiyuu Shimizu's Hina dolls are renowned not only for the beauty of their carefully selected ensembles but also for the skill with which they are dressed.

The fullness of the sleeves, the spread of the hem, and the beautiful lines of the layered collars are crafted to look natural and supple, as if the dolls were wearing real kimonos, while bringing out the texture of the fabric.

The carefully calculated layering of the ensembles and their beautiful silhouettes create the dignified presence unique to Kiyuu Shimizu.
