ABOUT YABASE DOLLS
The Yabase Doll is a cherished traditional folk toy originating from Akita Prefecture, in northern Japan. These simple, handmade clay figures have been produced in the Yabase area since the mid-Edo period (1603-1867) and symbolize good fortune. Around 90 varieties of these dolls were once crafted by artisans, each with its own charm.
However, in 2014, the passing of Tomo Michikawa, the last remaining artisan, threatened this 200-year-old tradition. In response, a group of Yabase Doll enthusiasts formed the "Yabase-ningyo Densho no Kai" (Association for Conveying Yabase Dolls) to preserve and revive this cultural heritage. Through their efforts, they continue to create new dolls while safeguarding the legacy of the old.
