About Shimada Kōen Doll Studio:

Founded in 1859 during the Ansei era, Shimada Kōen Doll Studio in Kyoto is famous for producing traditional Japanese "Gosho Ningyo." These dolls are characterized by their chubby, healthy figures, pure white skin, and graceful charm. Historically, they were gifted by feudal lords to the Kyoto Imperial Palace as ceremonial items. Today, under the craftsmanship of the fifth generation of Shimada Kōen and skilled artisans, each doll is carefully handmade with great attention to detail.
