Description
The doll is performing the sun hat dance. Kimekomi means to "tuck in 1" in Japanese. Cloth, usually made of silk brocade with traditional Japanese design, is glued and tucked into grooves of the doll body. The origin of kimekomi dolls dates back to the early 18th century. Tadashige Takahashi, a priest at the Kamo Shrine in Kyoto, created a doll body from scraps of willow trees and covered it with left over brocades and silk scraps used for Shrine festivals. Those dolls were called Kamo dolls.
