A simple but dignified hina in Usuki
Hina in Usuki
During the era(Temponokaikaku) of the Akimiti Inaba (the 14th Lord of Usuki), the people of Usuki town, for frugal frugality, began to go on with the writings of ancient manuscripts, which are said to have been allowed to decorate only ”paper Ohinasama”. According to the ancient documents, it seems that there were many times the prohibition on the Hina dolls, and even in those times, Our ancestors would have decorated the dolls of paper while praying for the safety of children’s growth.
