High quality of Japanese Doll
Our Japanese dolls are all hand-crafted using authentic material. The making of the head, planting hair, painting the face (makeup), are all hand-crafted. Also, the costume (Kimono) is hand-crafted too, it is absolutely amazing. The costume was specially made for the doll. To make a costume for a doll, the pattern has to be small design (not able to be the same as for humans to wear). The doll wears many layers of beautiful kimonos with different hand-made patterns. The costume was assembled by a professional assembler. Now, it is getting harder to prepare clothes for dolls, so not many dolls can be made as before.
HistoryJapanese dolls have been presented to brides as household items since the Edo period. The doll had an important role in substituting the disaster.
Regarding Materials of our Japanese dollsThe face is made of porcelain, hair is made of silk. Especially, the hair accessories are very detail-full same as real as if people actually use it. The decoration of flowers and other items in hair parts are been very carefully made.
Regarding Japanese Doll "Kotobuki (Hand drum)"
“Kotobuki” means a matter of congratulation, Happy long life. This doll is playing the drum! It is unique while many dolls have folding fans.
Size：6 (Height 34 (13 inch))
The second smallest size from the bottom in our lineup. To make small parts, it must need high skill. So this is the smaller size in our lineup, but not the lower price compared to the larger size of our other dolls.
A point worthy of special mention
This doll's head is made in a special way named as "Gokujou-Hongashira" more than the usual traditional way of making.
・Gokujou-Hongashira
(Extremely high quality, traditional made)
In Japanese dolls, the most important part is the head including the face. The “Gokujou-Hongashira” is an authentic way of making heads. The base is hardened of wood chips and painted by “Gofun” recoating several times. “Gofun” is powdered shell of clams mixed with glue. The surface becomes porcelain.
【Attention】
