The name “Hina Doll” was born in the Edo period, and there was a “Hiina” play in the Heian period.
“Hiina” is an old word with a small and cute meaning. In aristocratic society a pair of small paper dolls were used to play, and this was called “hiina”.

The word “Hinamatsuri” was born in the middle of Edo, and the dolls and furniture have been increasing due to the popularity of “Hinamatsuri”.
