[Recommended Highlights for 2025 Hina Dolls]
■For 2025, we have worked extensively with “handiwork” techniques to produce large and medium three-tier and two-tier sets.
■Our original three-tier and two-tier Hina stands use premium shiraki wooden bases for a refined look.
■We designed these stands ourselves, testing multiple prototypes to achieve a beautiful structure.
■In particular, “Yu” is the culmination of years of development, resulting in a gorgeous Hina set that is compact yet impressively sized for our lineup.
■We named each series “Yu,” “Rin,” “Tsumugi,” and “Midori” (the glass version).
■All are Ishikawa-Shigyo originals that complement both modern and traditional interiors, offering a space-saving solution with timeless charm.
■We also offer DIY kits for hands-on “experience” value.
We developed these kits in response to customer demand, making them suitable for people of all ages and skill levels. They are popular for workshops and events.
■We have a full line of both new and classic best-selling items, including shimenawa (twisted straw) hanging ornaments, mobile dolls, handmade beanbag dolls, and more.
■For more product details, refer to the supplemental Product Profiles—great for your promotions!
[Recommended Highlights for 2025 Boys’ Day Dolls]
◆A luxurious set that includes a decorative Mino Washi samurai helmet and chirimenkimono carp streamers, reflecting the modern user’s desire to display both a helmet and carp streamers.
◆The Mino Washi helmet and carp streamers can be showcased together or separately, each with its own premium whitewood base.
◆Our Washi helmets feature precise patterns that are impossible to replicate in fabric, in custom designs such as “shira wave,” “dot gold,” “shira sakura,” “shira wave black,” “shira wave gold,” and “yuzen gold.”
Choose from different helmet ornaments like “long kuwagata,” “large kuwagata,” or “crescent moon.” Carp streamers are also available in “shira” or “color” styles.
◆We offer various options such as the chest-type box or whitewood base, so you can select according to your customers’ needs.
◆DIY kits for “experience value” are also popular, from children to adults. People enjoy hands-on crafting at workshops and events.
◆Our lineup includes both new and long-selling items: paper-mâché Boys’ Day dolls, shimenawa hanging ornaments, mobile dolls, and handmade beanbag dolls.
◆Enjoy special benefits for early orders by the deadline!
Free shipping for early orders! No minimum lot required. If you prefer split shipments, free shipping applies only to the first single address. The first shipment is free.

A Word from Our Staff ~Sato’s Castle~
“Snow! Snow!! Snow!!!”
Thank you, as always, for your support.
This is Sato, grappling with piles of snow and ice.
Last week, I started every morning shoveling snow—an unexpected “strength training” routine that left me sore all over!
We had over 30cm of snowfall in Mino City, Gifu Prefecture, which is unusual here. I’ve lived here more than a decade, but never experienced such a heavy snowfall!
While the adults were struggling, the kids were thrilled—no school, sledding, building a kamakura (snow hut), even making a “snow maze” in the yard.
Though it can be fun occasionally, I admire everyone in real snow country who deals with this daily. I’m definitely ready for warmer weather!
Anyway, this month’s newsletter highlights our new Ceramic Omikuji series!
We have a wide array of new items this month, but let’s start with the first wave: these omikuji sets are not only perfect for customers wanting a fun, decorative fortune item, they also appeal greatly to inbound tourists excited about unique Japanese luck and charm items.
We’ve expanded beyond our popular cat and zodiac lines to include Inu-hariko (papier-mâché dogs), Daruma, Jizo, Shishimai, and hearts! Each comes with its own box and POP for easy display at retail. (Secret tip: they are mostly “Daikichi” fortunes and have no “Bad Luck” ones, so customers leave happy!)
We’re running a special purchase bonus right now, so we hope you’ll take advantage!
Please consider these new items in your lineup!
