This is an old carp made with asa (hemp or bast fiber). It was probably used as a streamer called Koinobori for the Boys Day (renamed to Chilren's Day). The larger Koi can be bigger than 10Elong. When they are seen swimming in the sky as a group of family, it is quite an impressive site.

I have never seen this type of Hina Goten (Palace) until I found this one. No longer a spring chicken myself, I asked several people in Japan if they knew anything about this style. No one knew. We may call this a rare find. The Hina ningyo (doll) set that I grew up with was displayed in the steps style, which is still a common way of displaying 15 dolls with furnitures as long as a space permits. The Emperor and Empresss hands are made out of wood covered with Gofun(layers of oyster shel ...click for details

The black dye changed its color to a dark gray which is nice in its own way. It is a formal wear with 5 mon (family crest). Top half of the lining is done with a white silk and the bottom half is done with the same black silk from the front. The design from the front goes throughout the inside lining! The bottom is lightly padded which makes this kimono into a great decoration piece. Beautifully hand sewn, again it is the work of art itself. The design is done in Yuzen dye and in excell ...click for details
