Each Kimekomi doll varies in color and design since antique kimono fabric is used. It is a bride doll which is truly unique in the world. Kimekomi dolls have a long history, with its origins in the "Kamo dolls" made in the Kamigamo district of Kyoto about 230 years ago. The core shape of the doll uses the "Sujibori" sculpting technique applied to a base model formed by putting fine paulownia powder mixed with a special adhesive in a mold.

[Notes on Handling]
●Take care not to touch the doll with dirty or oiled hands. Gloves are recommended especially for handling the face so as to prevent dirt and discoloration.
