Hinagu Hot Spring 日奈久温泉 in the bay of Hachidai
okin jo ningyoo, O-Kin おきん女人形 / おきん女人形 The Girl O-Kin
O-Kin was a beautiful girl working at the Hot Spring, about 200 years ago.
The doll is made from the wood of the paulownia 桐. Its arms and legs are fixed to the main body with stark-red cotton strings and cloth and can be moved.
On the bib painted on the brest are flower patterns.
They come in many sizes.
This simple doll was used by girls to play "mother and child".
The doll is also called penta ningyoo, benta ningyoo ぺんた人形 / 弁太人形 / べんたにんぎょう - Benta Doll
The name Benta derives from the name of the original creator of this doll "Benta" during the Bunsei period (1818-1830). He was said to be a Korean immigrant using remnant Kiri wood material from Geta clog production as most of the folk toys from Hinagu were made. Hinagu is known for its Geta production because many good quality Kiri trees grow in this area.
The doll is also called the "Okin-jyo" doll modeled after a girl from a nearby fishing village who helped to find a hot spring with Rokurouzaemon. He was a son of Hamada Ukon, a very important warrior for the Kumamoto lord. When Ukon was injured during a battle, his son Rokurouzaemon came to pray at Ichikishima Shinto Shrine to find a healing hot spring for his father and with the help from Okin, he finally found the present day Hinagu hot spring. It used to be a custom to buy this Benta doll at the Hinagu festival.
The original Benta dolls are simple wooden doll without limbs just like the Kokeshi dolls but the arms and legs were added in the mid-Meiji period (1868-1912). The condition of this piece is very good and her age is from the 1960's.
