Traditionally crafted in the small city of Takayama, these dolls are hand-painted using woodblocks. The color is fixed to the raw cotton at high temperature and each doll is then filled in with rice hulls and hand-sewn, so that every one of them is genuinely unique. This bird is part of the Japanese wild bird series and depicts a blue-and-white flycatcher, a bird that lives throughout Japan and is often seen in cities' parks during the spring and autumn migratory seasons. For its splendid song it is considered another of the three Japanese songbirds. Cotton and rice hulls. A wonderful doll, an exquisite example of Japanese craftsmanship. 12 cm x 6 cm x 4 cm
