Speaking of dogs in Fushimi dolls, Chin is the Japanese Chin.
Chin is a small dog loved by people from the Edo period to the Meiji period. They are kept indoors and are characterized by their black ears and curly tail. However, in the Meiji era, when various types of Western-style dogs were introduced to Japan, their popularity gradually disappeared and it is said that the number of Western-style dogs declined sharply in the Taisho era.
It is a mystery why they are bundled together, but it is said that if you break them, they will get rid of the worms of children.
My current feeling is that if it's this cute, I might cry if it breaks.

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.
