"Ichimatsu doll" is a type of dressing doll, which is said that its popular theory of its occurrence that a doll made to resemble the Kabuki actor, Sano-kawa Ichimatsu actually existed in the middle of the Edo period. In addition, since there were many children named "Ichimatsu" at that time, there is a theory that it is called the "Ichimatsu doll" in the sense of a "child's doll". "Ichimatsu dolls" in the Edo period were familiar as girls' playing equipment, sewing practice stands, etc. After that, the doll was actively being made in Kyoto and Tokyo in the Meiji - Taisho era, with the opportunity to present 58 Ichimatsu dolls to each city of the United States in reply to 12,739 friendship dolls sent from the United States in 1954, "We want you to decorate together at the Japanese Doll festival “made the Ichimatsu doll become famous. There are boy and girl Ichimatsu dolls, their representative appearance is that a boy doll is in a formal style wearing a jacket and a girl doll has bobbed hair with bangs. Originally, it was common that maternal grandparents send their granddaughter a Hina doll and paternal grandparents present their granddaughter a Ichimatsu doll as “a doll for welcoming” to the Hina doll. People decorated pairs of boys and girls Ichimatsu dolls on the right and left the side of Hina doll to enliven the festival. As well as the Hina doll and the doll for the Boy’s festival, the Ichimatsu doll is also used as a substitute doll that will accept disasters that will fall onto the gifted child. In the present age, some people decorate them throughout the year, even in the off-season as a lucky charm that protects the lifetime of the child, others traditionally adorn them at the "season of festival." The manner of presentation is also diversifying depending on the circumstances of the family and local customs as well as how to present Hina doll as a gift, and it is becoming popular as a gift for a newborn baby, the second, third child and as an interior overseas. The style also diversified, and many pretty modern prefectural Ichimatsu dolls such as dolls wearing colorful traditional Japanese cloth “Kimono”, having a bun, braided or ponytail hairstyle have appeared.
