Late Edo Period Dolls representing Sannin-kanjyo which means the three court ladies. They support and care for the emperor (Odairi-sama) and the empress consort (Ohina-sama). All are wearing a Japanese traditional dress (colored red and white). They probably were part of the Hina- Matsuri celebration.
All with exquisite red hakama over white kimono with brocade overcoat w/ bronze accessories including a pitcher, a long handled server + wood table in a signed with Japanese characters meaning “official women” on the door of a wooden box. They are serving tea or sake to the Dairi-Bina, the Emperor and Empress. The bodies are most likely painted wood.
The caligraphy on box front reads literally Official Woman but it may have a different meaning in Japanese, probably Court Ladies.
