- CREATORS INFO
Choro is a kadotsuki performer who visited houses in Kyoto during the New Year from the end of the Edo period to the middle of the Meiji period. A kadotsuki is a type of street performer who pretends to be a god and begs for money by standing at the door of a private house and uttering words of blessing, hokkaigoto.
Paper was pasted on a bamboo basket that half of the body was hidden , and a bizarre expression was drawn on it from the head to the waist.
Fushimi dolls are even more exaggerated and no longer have two heads. This is Tokusu Choro.

Tanka
Founded in the around 1750.
Located along the Fushimi Kaido road, this Fushimi doll kiln is marked by its historic appearance and red "noren" curtains.
When Fushimi dolls were at their peak (late Edo period), there were about 60 kilns lined up along the Fushimi Kaido road, but only one kiln still exists today. It was the only one.
At "Tanka," molds are made from spring to summer, and after drying in the sun in summer, the pieces are bisque fired in a kiln.
The painting is done from autumn to winter and spring when the glue is in good condition.
This seasonal process has been repeated for over 250 years.
They continues to create dolls every day, passing on the stories behind them.
