ABOUT KIMEKOMI DOLLS




KIMEKOMI DOLLScThese dolls ware called KAMO-NINGYOU because the original dolls were made at the Kami Kamo shrine in Kyoto. The first dolls were made by Takahashi Tadashige using pieces of willow tree wood shaped to resemble a body, cutting grooves in the dolls, and using glue to attach fabric scraps into the grooves to create clothes. The process of making the kimeomi dolls has evolved over time, as has the styling of the dolls. The original use of carved willow wood has almost completely disappeared and dollmakers now use a variety of processes to make the traditional grooved body. The concept of shaping and folding, then gluing fabric into the grooves has remained constant over time.
The process that our proud craftsman use, carrying on a long tradition in Japanese dollmaking, is described below:
