This version of Rie is a Takara-bako 1998 original. Takara-bako means "treasure
box" and is the name of Takara's homepage. Several times a year, limited edition
original dolls are offered there, and can be ordered only through Internet and
by Japanese residents. Rie is wearing a dress and stockings made for her from
a pattern in the 6th volume of the "My favorite doll book" series. This volume
is called "Easy sewing".
