--What is "Yabase doll"?
It is a unique clay doll that have been established around the middle of the Edo period in Yabase, Akita City. In this area, Tenjin dolls were displayed when a boy was born and Hina dolls were displayed when a girl was born. Since they are “local(folk) toys”, keeping the cost affordable is important. Therefore various efforts have been made to reduce costs, for example dolls are designed to display face front so the backs of most dolls are kept uncolored. It is said there are more than 500 different molds, and they still retain their simple colors and gentle expressions.
