Oh these are lovely. Something really special.
Wow wow wow! That's a very unusual Hinamatsuri set of the dairi-bina or imperial couple (the "Emperor and Empress" dolls, as they're usually called in English). The sleeves on the mebina or "Empress" are unique and very striking. Fantastic craftsmanship overall.
This is an old post so I'm not sure if you're still around, but if you haven't already read up on older dairi-bina, check out this excellent article:
