Thank you for taking the time to look at my work from among so many others. ❁¨̮ I make tsurushibina, one stitch at a time, with care. The motifs are filled with wishes for the growth and happiness of children. The tsurushibina, which conveys the maker's feelings, will warm your heart just by looking at it. Recently, it's not uncommon for families to use "tsurushibina instead of Hina dolls." Some people use them as a main display, while others display them alongside Hina dolls to add a touch of color to the Hinamatsuri (Girls' Day) celebration. They are also believed to ward off evil, and it's said that some families give tsurushi kazari (tsurushibina) to their second or third daughters. [Origin and Meaning of Tsurushi Kazari] ⬛︎Camellia: A large flower that represents the beauty of Japanese women, symbolizing elegance and splendor. It is a wish for the child to grow into a graceful and beautiful woman. ⬛︎Flowers: A wish for the child to grow up as lovely as a flower. Goldfish: A wish for the child to live a life as gorgeous and carefree as a goldfish, and to live a long and prosperous life. In China, goldfish are called "Jinyu" (金余), which sounds the same as "having extra gold," so they are considered to be related to wealth accumulation. Furthermore, goldfish are said to be auspicious fish because they lay many eggs, which is associated with a prayer for fertility. ⬛︎Mari (ball): An auspicious item displayed during the first New Year's celebration and also a toy for young children. It is a wish for a round, harmonious, and fulfilling life. ⬛︎Happy Pouch: When wearing a festive kimono for festivals and celebrations, a pouch is carried to represent happy memories of childhood. It is a wish for the child to have a happy life, filled with dreams in the pouch. The pouch also has the meaning of accumulating money and not having financial difficulties. ⬛︎Cherry Blossoms: The Sakon-zakura (cherry blossom tree) is indispensable for Hina dolls. It is said to be a tree that celebrates the beginning of things, wishes for their continuation, and praises glory. The sweet fragrance of cherry blossoms and leaves is said to nurture a beautiful and gentle heart. ⬛︎Size Diameter: 42cm ⬛︎Condition Used, but in good condition. Still usable.
