[Isehan-Honten] Special Exhibition “Miniature Love!” Currently ongoing (until 4/7)

At the Isehan-Honten,currently hosting an exhibition perfectly tailored for adults who have fallen in love with the charm of miniatures. Whether it’s landscapes in dioramas, fantasy characters, or toys from our childhood, the miniature world has always beckoned us with its small spaces that fit in the palm of our hands.

In this collection, curated primarily from the “Kawaichi Collection” by Yumiko Kawauchi, a collector of miniature Hina dolls’ accessories, meticulously gathered over the years, visitors can marvel at miniature Hina doll accessories that were already small and further reduced in size, showcasing the craftsmanship from the Edo period to the Showa era, capturing the essence of each era.
