Explanation of Kimekomi Dolls
Edo Kimekomi dolls are made by carefully refining a molded torso and embedding the edges of fabric into grooves carved into the torso, so that the fabric adheres closely to it, giving the appearance that the doll is wearing clothing. This process requires advanced traditional techniques. The fullness of the garments, such as sleeves and hems, is also crafted meticulously to avoid wrinkles, resulting in a unique sense of weight and presence. The technique of embedding fabric into grooves is called kimekomi, and the smooth, curved surfaces of Edo Kimekomi dolls are created through this method.
The origins of Edo Kimekomi dolls can be traced back to the Kamo dolls of Kyoto. These were first made by attendants (zasshō) at the Kamigamo Shrine in Kyoto, who carved notches into leftover willow wood from ritual boxes and inserted fabric into them to create dolls. These dolls were later commercialized by Kyoto doll artisans and eventually spread to Edo (present-day Tokyo), where they became widely produced around the end of the Edo period. Named after their distinctive method of construction, they came to be known as Edo Kimekomi dolls and have remained beloved to this day.
Explanation of Daruma Dolls
Daruma dolls are popular as lucky charms believed to grant the strength to stand up again no matter the hardship, embodying the saying, “Fall seven times, get up eight.” They are widely loved as talismans that grant a variety of wishes, such as prayers for success in exams, prosperity in business, good health, success in love, or victory in an election. Additionally, Daruma have become part of Japanese culture through children’s games like “Daruma-san ga koronda” (The Daruma doll fell down) and “Daruma-san, Daruma-san, let’s have a staring contest—whoever laughs loses! A-pu-pu!”
