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 little bird is part of the Japanese wild bird series and depicts a Japanese tit, a bird that lives throughout all Japan, known for its wonderful vocalizations.
