        Takasago dolls

        takasago

        • Takasago dolls are dolls given to young couples who are starting a new family.
        • Why is it necessary to give these old man and old woman dolls to young couples? The reason is that they embody the giver's parental feelings of wanting the couple to live happily and healthily until they become an old, gray-haired couple.
        • The sender of the Takasago and the time of giving vary depending on the region. In the Tama and Musashino areas where our company is located, the parents from the hometown would give them around February to coincide with the young couple's first Hinamatsuri in March. For this reason, they are also known as gift dolls in this area. Recently, they are often given to coincide with New Year's and other times when families meet.
        • In areas with a large number of betrothal gifts, such as the Kansai region, Takasagos are often included in the betrothal gifts, and in that case they are given by the bride's family, but the parents' feelings for the young couple are the same whether they are in the bride's family or in the hometown.
        • There are many regions where it is not customary to give such dolls as gifts, but I think your feelings will be conveyed, so why not give one? Also, for those who have missed the deadline, now is the time to do so. Rather than worrying about it, why not give one?
        • We do not have many finished products in stock, so in most cases, we make them to order. Delivery will take about one month. 

        Welcome Doll Bear

        • Welcome dolls have recently become common at weddings. Our company offers original welcome dolls, with original ornaments and costumes. You can choose the shape of the ornament and the color of the face, and we will create it in the costume of your choice. As it is a wooden doll, it can be displayed for a long time as a keepsake. As it is a cute bear, some people use it as a gift.

        Bride

        • How about a present from a daughter to her parents on her wedding day? It will be a wonderful gift that will remain in their memories for a long time. The attire can be made from a plain white wedding kimono, a colored uchikake, or a fabric of your choice, and the head accessory can be made to your liking, such as a cotton hat, a tsunokakushi, or a traditional Japanese hairstyle.

        Gift dolls

        三番叟

        • "I want to send something to my friend to celebrate their new beginning, but I don't know what to give." It's a question I hear often. Since it's a celebration after all, I recommend a doll that is an auspicious item that can be displayed for a long time. The one I recommend here is Sanbaso. It is an auspicious dance performed in the "Okina" part of Noh theater, celebrating peace throughout the world, a tranquil land, and bountiful harvests. (Excerpt from the Japanese Doll Association Doll Dictionary) It is the perfect auspicious item for celebrations.

            Kimekomi Dolls Q&A

            Q: What is 3D cutting?
            A: It is a method of making dolls without using patterns, by directly placing a large piece of cloth on the doll and cutting it as you go. For more information, please see here.

            Q: Why do you recommend 3D cutting?
            A: The more advanced you are, the more questions you will have about making dolls with patterns. Even though we have recommended 3D cutting to customers who are used to using patterns for a long time, many of them say they cannot do it even before they make a doll. However, when they actually try making a doll, they find that they can make the direction of the cloth exactly as they want, and many of them say that they have made a wonderful doll. If you can make dolls with patterns, you can definitely make 3D cuts as long as you follow the precautions. In addition, I think it is better for beginners to get used to 3D cutting from the beginning.

            Q: Won't there not be enough cloth if you don't use a pattern?
            A: Our sets are cut much larger than when using patterns, so I think you will have enough.

            Q: What do you do if you run out of cloth?
            A: If you send us a note with the missing scraps and how many centimeters they are missing, we will send you the amount you need. (Basically, there is a fee.)

            Q: I would like to use fabric that I already have.
            A: Kimekomi kits are also available without fabric.

            Q: I don't like the fabric in the set.
            A: If, for our own reasons, we send you fabric that is different from the one shown on our website, we will exchange it for an equivalent item free of charge if you send us some fabric. If the fabric is the same as the product on our website, there will be a fee for the exchange.

            Q: Do I need to have all of the tools listed above to make a doll?
            A: You can use an awl for the spatula and sandpaper for the fabric file, but I think it will be easier to make if you have as many tools as possible.

            Q: I would like to choose the fabric myself.
            A: You can purchase only the body material, and you can purchase the brocade by itself from the brocade page.

            Q: I would like to know about the costume before purchasing.
            A: Normally we will recommend costumes, and if you have requests we will suggest two or three types.

            Q: Can I have the set made from my favorite fabric?
            A: There will be an additional 10% fee, but if you select brocade from the brocade page and specify your preferred fabric, we can set the doll in that fabric. Please indicate this when placing your order. Also, depending on the type of brocade, the price of the doll set itself may be higher in addition to the fee. Please note that we may not be able to accommodate very detailed specifications.
