According to this source
“Washi Ningyo (Japanese Paper Dolls) found its origin in a paper doll called "Anesama" Ningyo", which was favored by girls of all ages throughout Japan during the last 500 years.”
See examples of anesama and other Japanese paper craft on the page of National Clearinghouse for U.S.-Japan Studies of Indiana University
Interesting that there is special term for "elder sister doll" : which is “Anesama ningyoo” in Japanese. “There is a deep history to these paper dolls. In the Japanese feudal society, the common people were stuck within the social class in which they were born.”
Kimono for paper dolls was created form CHIYOGAMI which is According to Kimberly Crane’s brief but very informative article at kimscrane.com a “type of Japanese paper decorated with brightly colored, woodblock-printed patterns.”
