What are Momiji Dolls?

Momiji dolls are inspired from the traditional Japanese Kokeshi Dolls that originated from the Edo period in Japan. Kokeshi dolls are about 3 inches long and carved from wood and hand painted. The dolls usually consist of a head and elongated torso which represents the entire body below the head. Oh you know you’ve seen Kokeshi dolls before!

Momiji dolls are the modern form of these Kokeshi dolls, and are made from resin instead of wood. The main difference is the unique secret space in the base of each Momiji doll. The spaces allow you to insert a folded piece of card or paper that contains your secret message or greeting.

Also known as Momiji Friendship Dolls, these Momiji dolls are usually given as gifts to friends and family; with the dolls passing on the secret messages from the giver. This act of giving small gifts is part of a Japanese culture known as omiyage.

Because of the unique and fun designs of the Momiji dolls, they have been described by the press as “melting pots of Anime, Manga and Meiji cultures.”
