Kimekomi Dolls
The doll’s body, arms, and legs are made of toso, a modeling material made of paulownia sawdust
mixed with wheat starch paste. The head is made from dolomite clay, silk threads are
used for hair, and the costumes are made from silk or cotton textiles. A distinct part of the production
process involves cutting small grooves into the doll, and tucking the ends of costume fabrics
into the grooves. These dolls have no separate items of clothing, instead, pieces of fabric are
pasted onto the torso and tucked into the creases.
