Tachibina Dolls





These are called Tachibina Dolls, a very old type of Japanese Dolls.  Tachibina means standing, so "The Standing Dolls"




A close up of the gorgeous couple.   This pair of dolls are a part of Carolyn's course work in Traditional Japanese Doll Making.    It involves a lot of detail work.   Japanese doll makers takes the art seriously, each year on March 3rd, Japan celebrates Doll Festival.  



The is the backs of the Tachibina Dolls.   Doesn't her long hair reminds you of Crystal Gayle?
