Dress-up doll - Dress-up doll

A type of costume doll. A doll that can be played with by changing various costumes. Naked dolls and checkered dolls, in which clothes are sewn at home, have been around since the early Edo period. Among Yamato dolls from the Meiji period onwards, there are dolls around 10cm in size that are designed primarily for dressing up, and are called kusekae ningyo. There are also paper dolls. After World War II, following American-made soft vinyl dolls, domestically produced dolls of the same type also appeared, gaining popularity among young girls, and a wide range of fashionable costumes are available for dressing up.

衣装人形の一種。衣装をさまざまに着せ替えて遊ぶ人形。家庭で衣服を縫って着せる裸人形や市松(いちまつ)人形は、江戸時代初期からあった。明治以降のやまと人形のなかにも、とくに着せ替え遊びを主眼とした10センチメートルほどの人形があり、着せ替え人形の名でよばれている。また紙製のものもある。第二次世界大戦後はソフトビニルのアメリカ製人形に続き、同型の国産のものも登場して少女たちの人気を集めており、数多くの着せ替え流行衣装が用意されている。
