Kunisada's Twelve Month Series

October 10, 2008 - February 1, 2009

The Doll Festival, which celebrated the young girls of the household, took place on the third day of the third month, when the flowering peach trees (momo) are in bloom. The customary display of dolls and other miniature objects is suggested on the left, where a corner of a tiny palanquin (an enclosed conveyance on poles supported by bearers and used to transport a seated person) supports a tiered arrangement of dolls representing the imperial court.
