When it comes to Fushimi dolls and dogs, we're talking about the Japanese Chin.
The Japanese Chin was a small dog beloved by people from the Edo period to the Meiji period. They were kept indoors and were characterized by their black ears and curled tails. However, with the advent of various Western dog breeds into Japan during the Meiji period, their popularity waned, and it is said that their numbers drastically decreased during the Taisho period.
It's wearing a cute bib.

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.
