Antique & Vintage Postcards

Hand-colored Japanese postcard depicting a traditional Hinamatsuri (Doll Festival / Girls' Day) display, showing the characteristic tiered arrangement of imperial court dolls on a red-draped platform. The display includes the seated Emperor and Empress dolls (dairi-bina) at center, flanked by court ladies and ministers, with attendant figures and ritual objects, decorative paper koi, ceremonial banners on poles, and shrine-like architectural elements. The image is significantly faded with heavy color loss, particularly in the upper and lower portions.
