The type of doll I specialize in is the Bunka Ningyo (culture doll). Bunka dolls were famous between Taishô (1912-1926 ) and early Shôwa period ( 1927-1937 ). Traditional ones always wear red as it was thought to protect children from any misfortune. I saw them online about a year ago and have obsessed over them ever since. However, it wasn't until last November that I made my very first one and I was totally hooked! I've been sewing them ever since and loving every minute of it. ^_^ I also love looking at the bunka dolls other people have made. They're always different as each artist has their own style, I love it!
I finally made an etsy shop to sell my bunka dolls! ♥ Please check it out: www.etsy.com/shop/BunkaLove?re… I also have a tumblr now. I show my drawings on it and loads more wip shots of bunka dolls that aren't on here. Please enjoy. bunka-love.tumblr.com/ Current Residence: A pile of fabric and notions.
