----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Sylvia, There is a nice entry about Japanese dolls, including reference to the Hina Matsuri, in volume 17, pp 371-373 of the new Dictionary of Art. It includes a bibliography as well. If you don't have access to the Dictionary, I could fax you those pages. Please advise, Joann Joann D.
