Dolls have been manufactured since the very early days of Japanese culture and played an important roll in Japan, at festivals, as talisman, or just as a toy. Today, there exist various types of Japanese interior dolls. During centuries a great variety of forms developed, from dolls simply made out of paper by the children themselves to valuably dressed and wonderfully molded unique objects, made by craftsmen and ordered by rich citizens and noblemen for the girls' and boys' festivals. Already for the birth of a child dolls, as Kimekomi and Ichimatsu, were given as a present from the relatives.
