Vtg Japanese Princess and Prince Hina Doll Set
This is a set of beautiful vintage princess and prince ohinasama dolls decorated in red, green, and rainbow-colored silk. The princess holds a paper fan with thread streamers and the prince comes with a few accessories including a plastic sword, folding fan (folded), and a hat with a mesh finial. This is a quality hina pair and the heads are removable as they were handcrafted separately from the body with a wood base and gofun, a white chalk commonly used in crafting doll faces made from the shells of oysters, clams, etc. These two large dolls are an excellent addition to any hina set of doll collection. **Heads will be removed for shipping for safety of the product.
