Handmade Craft Behind Each Manekineko
Edo Kimekomi Dolls are made not by putting on miniature “clothes” onto the dolls but instead by creating a mould of sorts in the shape of a body, creating small crevices, and then attaching the fabric to the body using these grooves, in a method called kimekomi, or literally woodgrain embedding, making it so that the dolls look like they are wearing kimono fabric.
