品野陶磁器センターのギャラリー｢科野｣では2007年2月1日～2月21日まで
｢春の訪れ　雛人形・5月人形展｣（宮前孝之氏の作品）と｢おとなも　ひな祭り｣
（加藤美穂子さん）というテーマで陶製人形が展示されています。　普段見る形ではなく、
可愛いし芸術的なセンスを非常に感じました。　無風庵では｢享保雛と古今雛展｣が催され
、古いものでは、280年前からの雛人形たちが展示されていました。　この江戸時代のお雛様
の所有者による説明があったので、お雛様のあれこれを知ることが出来ました。
雛のつるし飾りは初めて見ました（静岡県が発祥の地？）。
Ｃeramic dolls were exhibited under themes of "Coming of Spring - Hina dolls & Dolls
in the Boys" (works by Mr. Takayuki Miyamae) and "Hina Matsuri - Adults too"
(works by Ms. Mihoko Kato) at gallery "Shinano" in "Shinano Ceramic Center" for a
period of February 2 through 21, 2007. The figurine will not be seen usually, and was
pretty and gave artistic sense. An exhibiton for "Kyoho-bina dolls and Kokin-bina dolls"
were held at "Mufuan" hermitage, and the dolls of 280 years before were set up.
The owner of the dolls explained so that we could learn many things over Hina dolls.
We saw for the first time "Hanging decoration" of Hina-related things such as rice bale,
mouse, monkey and temari ball to scare disaster away. (The hanging seemed to originate
in Shizuoka Prefecture.)

* Hina Matsuri (or the Dolls' Festival) was originally for both boys and girls, but it is now
just for girls.
