About This Event

A spring special exhibition titled 'Hinamatsuri' held at a museum in Himeji, Hyogo. Himeji prospered as a castle town, and the exhibition showcases precious hina doll collections that once belonged to feudal lords and wealthy merchants. Through dolls from different periods including Edo-era Kyoho-bina and Yusoku-bina, and Meiji-Taisho era palace decorations, visitors can learn about the evolution of Japan's hinamatsuri culture. The exhibition can be enjoyed alongside a visit to nearby Himeji Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
