Overview
Tohno soil and Japanese paper are mixed and kneaded, molded, naturally dried, and overpainted with flour 4-5 times, and then finished with coloring. The style is said to follow the flow of Kyoto's Fushimi dolls, Sendai embankment dolls, and Hanamaki dolls, and because they are all manual work, even the same dolls differ in expression, and gloss naturally appears as the years go by. Because there are many auspicious items, it is popular as a festive gift. Especially, there are many beckoning cats, Kintaro and hina dolls. In the Tono Monogatari series, they are popular with Oshikisama and Kappa.
