Japanese-Style Miniature Flower Doll Ornament

The Japanese miniature dolls originated from a ritual in the royal court. By the Edo period, samurai and commoners also began using these miniature dolls for celebrations. They are traditional Japanese cultural items used to pray for health and ward off disasters. Hataman Touen, a renowned official kiln in Japanese history, has preserved the tradition of these miniature dolls through exquisite ceramic craftsmanship. Each piece is meticulously hand-painted. The two miniature dolls, each adorned with traditional Japanese clothing featuring dense patterns of green bamboo and cherry blossoms, make auspicious gifts for weddings and blessings.
