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.

Nunobari

“Pasted fabric.” Designs are created by applying different colored fabrics.

Kamibari

“Pasted paper.” Designs are created by applying dyed washi paper.
