KIMEKOMI Dolls at Boy’s May Festival

"Kimenoki" dolls are crafted by carving grooves into a wooden torso and embedding the edges of fabric into them to create the costume. Because the torso is made of wood, the costume retains its shape well, making these dolls easy to display and handle. They are very simple to set up and store, and—most importantly—their compact size allows them to be displayed even in small spaces.

This Kimekomi May doll features luxurious Ryumura-style fabric that beautifully complements its fresh yet dignified face. The sleeves are crafted from “Sōun-ji Mon-dai” brocade—a lavishly woven gold-threaded fabric featuring a vine-and-arbor pattern composed of dianthus-style flowers—which lends the doll a sense of grandeur and opulence.The figure’s expression is dignified and graceful, with every detail—from the “saihai” (commander’s staff) held by a general on the battlefield to the “eboshi” (ceremonial cap) and “katana” (sword)—faithfully rendered. With its refined and flawless decoration, this warrior doll stands out as a beautiful and valiant figure.

A collection of exquisite pieces that preserve the beauty of the Japanese spirit within tradition while pursuing a fresh sensibility—these stylish May dolls complement both Japanese-style and Western-style rooms. We hope that, with a doll from Tatsumura Art Textiles, you will create lasting memories that will remain in your child’s or grandchild’s heart forever, as you pray for their healthy growth.
