New Obsession: Momiji Dolls

Big thanks to my kind aunt for this new love! Momiji were first launched in 2005 in England, and they are hand-painted message dolls, a contemporary form of traditional Japanese Kokeshi dolls. They're so cute, I just can't resist. As one article I read said, "(they're) quite surreal but once you've got one they're strangely addictive." I want my own collection now, from all over the world! Today I received the Thank You doll from the Heroes collection, as well as the Green Soul doll from the Vintage collection, along with a Momiji mug and a Kimmi Doll keychain. Hugs to my auntie!


"...feted Japanese big kids, Momiji...a family of friendship dolls, all with their own individual styles and stories…vibrant and oddly addictive…melting pots of Anime, Manga and Meiji cultures."
