Traditional craft dolls that were actively made in the Tsukumaushi area during the Edo period. After putting washi paper and Tono soil into a mold and letting it dry naturally, the top layer is layered and colored with pigments extracted from natural materials. The luster achieved through painstaking polishing is the result of a secret handicraft, and is unique to Tsukumagyu dolls.
