The joruri crew decided to air all the stored equipment.  So these huge wooden boxes came out.

The clothes for the dolls were inside the boxes: lots of miniature kimonos and samurai jackets.  Legs and arms, heads and moths and silverfish.  It was a cloudy day and the sun wasn’t so bright; it actually looked like it might rain.  In hindsight, it probably wasn’t the best day to hang precious things outside.

Well, it did rain after all but I managed to get some pictures of the kimonos and some other stuff before we had to repacked it quickly:

Inside these boxes, some unused heads that I’ve never met before.

The kimonos were beautifully embroidered.

Astonishing detail for something that is rarely seen up-close by the spectator.  I guess this is a perfect example of just how sacred these dolls are.
