This exhibition showcases the elegant dolls of Maruhei Oki, a doll maker founded in Kyoto during the Meiwa Era in the Edo period, displayed alongside paintings depicting Gosekku<\/i> (\u201cthe five seasonal festivals\u201d) and other seasonal events. Maruhei has a long doll-making tradition rich in exquisite craftsmanship, from costumes through to furnishings, based on the customs of the Imperial Court. Focusing on Hina<\/i> dolls, which have long been loved by the Imperial household and other important families, and comprising Gosho<\/i> dolls, Isho<\/i> dolls, Ichimatsu<\/i> dolls, and other dolls unique to Maruhei displayed alongside the works of modern painters from the Collection, this exhibition will reflect on the enduring beauty of tradition in Kyoto.<\/p>\n
