 The Kanbun beauties did not necessarily wear only gosho topknots, but the topknots of the shikie dolls are all set at the gosho topknot, as if in accord with the style of the Kanbun hina dolls. The design of the uchikake is similar to that of the Kanbun dolls, with a large noshi (dried dried paper streamer) clearly visible on the back and a forehead in the Kanbun style. All three dolls above were recently imported from London or Paris.
