Japanese Hina dolls, also known as 'Hina-ningyō' (雛人形) in Japanese, are traditional dolls used in celebrating the Hinamatsuri festival, also known as Girls' Day festival. The Hinamatsuri festival is celebrated on March 3rd in Japan and is focused on honoring and blessing girls in the family.

The Hina dolls represent the imperial court of the Heian period (794-1185) in Japan and are typically crafted from materials such as wood, ceramics, and silk. They are often displayed on a special multi-tiered stand called 'hina-dan' or 'hina-ta', with each tier representing a different rank of the imperial court
