"Oh, what? So, by "retainers" you mean that the Obina and the Mebina are the king and queen, Jin?
"That's what it means."
In fact, they are not kings, but rather emperors and empresses, but that would take too long to explain, so Jin omitted that part for now.

"I'm a little curious, aren't I?"
"Yes.

I think she can do it better than Jin.
Even Jin can't reproduce every detail of the dolls.

If he is going to rearrange them, he should do it in the style of this world, so he left the faces to Elsa.

The basic garment is the juni-hitoe (twelve-layered kimono).
The bottom layer is a hitoe, which serves as underclothing, and over that are five hitoe of different colors, called itsutsuginu.

The five garments are combined so that there is a beautiful gradation of colors on the cuffs and collars. This is called "kasane-no-irome," and is said to have been changed depending on the season and status of the wearer.
On top of this, an uchi ginu, then an uhagi, and finally a karaginu, an elaborate garment, are worn.
The bottom is a long hakama (legless hakama), and a gown is attached at the waist.
