男雛
男雛 (おびな, obina) is a traditional Japanese doll representing a male figure, typically used during the 雛祭り (ひなまつり, Hinamatsuri) or Doll Festival. This festival, celebrated on March 3rd, honors the health and happiness of girls. The male doll is usually dressed in a formal 平安時代 (へいあんじだい, Heian period) court attire, complete with a black cap.
男雛 is often displayed alongside its female counterpart, 女雛 (おびな, mebina), which represents a female figure. Together, they symbolize the ideal couple and are placed on a tiered platform adorned with various accessories. The dolls are made from materials like cloth and wood, showcasing intricate craftsmanship and cultural significance.
