Are there any attachments to hina dolls?

Our hina dolls set include duster, groves, cloth, moth repellent and a red felt carpet.

How can I repair and maintain of my dolls?

Almost all of Mataro dolls can be repaired and we also maintain dolls with years.
Please send your doll to our show room with clear notification of the parts that need to be repaired and necessity of calculation. And please notice that it might take time depending on season (for example; just before the doll's festival.)
Meanwhile, repairing of a face will be exchanged to new one for most of the cases. In case if we do not make the same face, your doll's face will be slightly changed.

Can I get face repairs?

Basically we do not repair doll faces. Instead of repairing, we exchange those faces needed to be repaired and new ones. If you have our doll made in long time ago, we might not make the same ones now. Therefore the appearance of the doll may be different. In that case we show you the substitutes first, and with the agreements we make an exchange.

Stains on the face
In the case of breakage, we exchange doll faces instead of repairing. For the rare occasion, light stains might disappear when it's dried for 1 week or more.

Peeling off of the face painting
Likewise in other circumstances, we do not repair the face in this case.

The costume has eaten by moth!

It is possible to change costume of the dolls, but perhaps the eggs of moth still remain in the costume or inside of the doll. In that case we will examin the doll. Please send us the doll with notification of estimete. We will tell you the estimate.

How long dose it take to repair?

Please pack your dolls not to bump into each other when you send us for repair. Also please put the "fragile" sticker on the box.

I have a Japanese doll.Can you tell me some information of the doll?

Please be forewarned that we do not apprise your doll, neither take your doll as a trade-in. However, if you are curious to know your doll is a doll of Mataro or not, we can give you the answer. If your doll has a name plate or original container, those should have a name of the doll or doll maker, therefore please include the information when you send inquiries. Also, please send some photos of your doll by e-mail to the e-mail address, which we will reply to your inquiries.
