Passion and Dedication of the Craftsman

A doll for the modern era by Mataro, heir to the techniques of kimekomi dolls. The Daruma doll, considered a lucky charm in Edo, has been recreated as a polygonal version, with geometric shapes. Kimekomi techniques are fused with digital technologies to create a design that harmonizes with our contemporary lifestyles while still symbolizing tradition. The sharp-edged, geometrical shape accents its space by how it looks so different depending on how the light hits it. Evolution into this refined form has created an item that is not too showy, but rather offers the gentle presence of a Daruma. The change from the traditional paulownia sawdust-and-starch body to a resin one has given these dolls both a refined, angular design and high durability.
