Each tapestry is hand-painted in Nara, Japan by Yoshioka-san herself. These tapestries are made of ramie, an extremely durable and lustrous fiber that is similar to linen, and often used in ultra-high-class designerwear clothing. Ramie, also called China grass, boasts a high resistance to bacteria, mildrew, rotting, and insect attacks, as well as a natural stain-resisting ability.
Comes in a gift/stow-away box and includes wooden hanging rods and a string (attached) - all you need to do is decide where it should hang!

"Hina-Matsuri" literally translates to "Doll's Festival", but symbolically equates to Girls' Festival. It happens each year on the third of March, and not only marks a change of season, but also is a day of celebration for the nurture of girls and their future happiness. The display of special dolls during this festival is an age-old tradition - and the two most important dolls are depicted here in this artwork.

The peach blossoms portrayed in the tapestry also have significance. Traditionally, March 3 was known as the "Peach" seasonal holiday, and peach blossoms are said to have the power to ward off evil sipirits … which surely can't be a bad thing!
