The silk chirimen fabric for these dolls is specially ordered from Japan. It has a beautiful matte finish with a very light texture. The silk can be hand-dyed to depict the doll’s ethnicity.
Each doll’s head is hand sculpted using stone clay, then over-layed with the specially chosen chirimen and painted in detail.

The costume fabric of silk, linen, and cotton are from around the world to give each doll a unique and well- studied look. The Charm Girls hold a small gourd with a delicate enameled charm to represent the lore of that piece. The Story Dolls are inspired from the Chinese Minority Group; these hats are made for children by their Mother’s incorporating a protective quality into each. The vest opens to show the lore which is imprinted on either side of the opening in Chinese and English.

Each piece comes with an enveloped card of the distinctive characteristic.
