【注１- 説明板の説明の一部】
☆変わり雛とは
大正時代末期から昭和初期にかけて、東京を中心とした・・・文人・画家・工芸作家などが、
・・・ひとつのグループを作り・・・ある年、その年の干支にちなんで様々な素材を用いて
雛人形を作り、お互いに交換し合うことにした。・・・ふたつ並べて雛人形に見立て、
これを｢見立て雛｣と呼んだ。・・・｢変わり雛｣の原点。・・・中心的立場にいた人形師　
初代金林真多呂は終戦と同時に・・・テーマを干支でなく、その時代の流行・時の話題・
社会風刺などに求め｢変わり雛｣として販売した。
現在は、肖像権・著作権などの問題もあり、販売は一切していない・・・。
制作の基本コンセプトとしては・・・・男女一対の人形でつくり・・・。

☆変わり雛の素材・制作工程など
・・・桐の木を細かく粉状にしたものと糊を混ぜて粘土状にしたもの・・・。その素材で
作ったものを乾燥後、絵の具で彩色したもので、人物の顔などはあまりそっくりに
出来ない場合もあり、その辺が制作の難しいとろとなっています。
