Sugana doll

The sugana doll [すがな芥；すがな・わた] is a humanoid doll, often made of lacquered wood, resembling a young woman (typically a temple maiden, horane) in white clothing with long, flowing black hair. Though often now considered a toy, the sugana has a design which is still associated with spirituality and is regarded often as a talisman of good luck. Sugana dolls are seen as a symbol of purity, innocence, and fortune, and they are a popular gift for young girls. 
== Origin ==
The sugana doll's distinctive and unchanging appearance is thought to be based on the fashion of temple maidens from the late medieval era. The design of the doll closely matches historical records of the appearances of these women, with details such as the long hair, white robes and typically benevolent, round, smiling face being particularly significant.
