Techniques Used

Wooden dolls

Carved wooden dolls (mokuchō ningyō) are made by separately carving the head, torso, and limbs out of paulownia wood. The limbs are then assembled using bamboo pegs. Paulownia has a low sap content, making it less likely to attract insects. It is also lightweight, strong, and does not warp easily, making it an ideal material for doll making.

Kimekomi

Fabric is tightly tucked into narrow grooves on the doll’s torso. The grooves are cut to align with the seams of the outfit and an adhesive is applied to secure the fabric in place. In addition to securing the outfit, kimekomi is used to create subtle details on the final outfit.

Saishiki

“Coloring.” Paint is applied directly to the body of the doll.
