Hitomi-chan's Sweet Spring

What are Takara dolls?

Here's what I've found on wikipedia. [See full article here]
Jenny (ジェニー Jenī?) is a 10½ inch fashion doll produced by Japanese toy company now known as Takara Tomy since 1982. The doll was known as Takara Barbie, and in 1986 the doll was renamed "Jenny" after Takara ended their licensing agreement with Mattel.[1] Takara Barbie differs from a western Barbie. Takara Barbie was altered to better appeal to Japanese preferences, and is shorter, her eyes are larger and rounder, the mouth is closed, and the doll's figure is more natural than the Western Barbie's exaggerated figure. Like her Western counterpart, Jenny wears a large variety of outfits, which often include street fashion, school uniforms, kimonos,[2] and other uniquely Japanese costumes, such as "Bullet-Train Stewardess Jenny".[3] Today the Jenny doll is a sentimental favorite doll in Japan, but she is much less popular than Licca-chan, Mattel's Barbie or MGA Entertainment's Bratz dolls.
 Meet Hitomi-chan, on her Spring day look (this is her first photo set after a few hours of getting out of the storage, that's why she still doesn't have nice clothes yet)










P.S.
I am not that good in taking pictures. I only use camera phone and a bridge camera. Hopefully, I would be able to produce more high quality photos <3
