I made this "Moon Spirit" feeling the importance of the influence of astronomical bodies. Our planet is influenced by the waxing and waning of the moon; people are born when the sea is at high tide and pass away when at low tide. People have lived within nature in this way from ancient times. I made the Moon Spirit holding a crescent moon that is waxing, hoping for good things to happen to many people.

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

As there is always a story behind the world of dolls, I would like people to feel the story when they see the dolls. As people's wishes are put into the shape of a doll, it is easy to pass on your wishes to your children or grandchildren with a doll rather than trying to say in words.
