Kobayashi Doll Museum

Kobayashi Doll Museum

6-31-2 Yahiro, Sumida-ku, Tokyo, Japan
Tel: +81 (0)3 3612 1644
 

Visit this small museum to observe first-hand the traditional method of handcrafting Japanese dolls, an art that has been acclaimed worldwide. Dolls like those displayed here are seen in Japanese homes on "Girl's Day" (March 3rd). You may hear a song as you visit: Ohina-sama rainen-mo gozare. Sangatsu sakura hanami-sa gozare. ("We will see the dolls again next year. In March, we see the cherry blossoms.") This ditty is an old refrain which little girls sang after their dolls were packed away at the end of the annual doll festival.
