- CREATORS INFO
Manju-eating dolls have been made all over Japan since ancient times, starting with Fushimi dolls in Kyoto.
When a child was asked which of his parents was more important, he split the manju he was holding in his hand into two and asked, "Which of these is delicious?" They are loved as decorations in children's rooms, as gifts for safe childbirth, baby gifts, and even as dolls that pray for prosperous business.

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.
