This doll is a representation of many Japanese heian period (c. 794 – 1185) fashion and beauty ideals. These include the Hime haircut, painting faces white with Oshiroi, the teeth-blackening practice Ohaguro, painted Hiki smudge-style eyebrows, Tsumakurenai red nails, and the elaborately layered Jūnihitoe silk court dress.
