24 carat gold China doll [March 3 is traditionally known as Girl’s Day}



A Reuters news video showing a pair of 24 carat gold hinamatsuri dolls put on display yesterday in Tokyo:

Japanese jeweller Tanaka Ginza unveiled the 24 carat gold dolls which weigh 2 kilogrammes each.

The dolls, representing the Emperor and Empress of Japan, are a 1,000-year-old tradition dating back to a time when dolls were suppose to help ward off evil spirits and help with the coming of Spring.

Similar dolls usually decorate homes ahead of March 3, which is traditionally known as Girl’s Day.
