“Tsurushi Kazari” (hanging ornaments) is a traditional Japanese decoration made of approximately 5,000 hand-sewn ornaments using genuine silk antique kimono fabric, hanging in a space approximately 3 meters high, 2.4 meters wide, and 6.8 meters deep. This custom, believed to have started in the Edo period, is displayed during the Hinamatsuri (Doll Festival) to wish for the healthy growth and happiness of children.
Each ornament carries a special meaning; for example, the shrimp symbolizes “longevity”, the turtle represents “long life”, the crawling baby doll signifies “healthy growth”, and the silk ball (mari) is a wish for children to grow up “energetic and lovable”. The ornament of the horse, which is the zodiac sign for 2026, is also included as a symbol of good fortune and progress.
These ornaments were meticulously crafted, one stitch at a time, by quilt artist Mitsuyo Matsuo and 60 members of the Himawari Group, using precious genuine silk antique kimono fabric that has been passed down through generations.
In the center of the display space, you can also enjoy a tiered doll display by the long-established “Mataro Doll” company, showcasing traditional and elegant Hinamatsuri dolls.

Founded in 1946 in Sumida, Tokyo, Kataoka Byoubu Store is a long-established specialty store that has been manufacturing and selling folding screens for various occasions, including traditional Japanese seasonal festivals, hotels, wedding venues, and decorative spaces. Their extensive portfolio includes original folding screens for major corporations' anniversaries and a homage to Hokusai folding screens. In recent years, they have actively expanded their business beyond sales, engaging in live demonstrations for inbound tourists and collaborations with artists.
