Kakinuma Dolls was founded in Tokyo in 1950 and has been in business for more than 60 years as Edo Mokumegome Dolls.
The company currently employs more than 30 craftsmen in its workshop in Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture.
Kakinuma Toko, the second generation of traditional craftsmen, has taken on the challenge of creating dolls with a fresh, original look for a new era, while at the same time carrying on the traditional techniques.
This time around, the range includes items of ancient Japanese prayer, such as komainu (guardian dogs) and kagura masks, as well as adorable cat and panda dolls that are easy to pick up and give a sense of Japan's good qualities.
Why not display them in your room or give them as gifts as genuine traditional crafts?
