context_section_description: There are various types of traditional Japanese dolls (人形, ningyō, lit. "human form"), some representing children and babies, some the imperial court, warriors and heroes, fairy-tale characters, gods and (rarely) demons, and also people of the daily life of Japanese cities. Many have a long tradition and are still made today, for household shrines, for formal gift-giving, or for festival celebrations such as Hinamatsuri, the doll festival, or Kodomo no Hi, Children's Day. Some are manufactured as a local craft, to be purchased by pilgrims as a souvenir of a temple visit or some other trip.
  There are four different base materials used to make dolls: 
  Wooden dolls (木彫人形)
  Toso dolls (桐塑人形), made out of toso, a substance made out of paulownia sawdust mixed with paste that creates a clay-like substance
  Harinuki dolls (張抜人形), made out of papier-mache
  Totai dolls (陶胎人形), made out of ceramic
  The painting or application techniques are:  
  Nunobari (布貼り)
  Kimekomi (木目込み)
  Hamekomi (嵌込み)
  Kamibari (紙貼り)
  Saishiki (彩色)
  Saicho (彩彫)
  Known types are, for example, Hakata ningyō (博多人形).
