saying about Kyoto doll in Japan is that the making
process of Japanese dolls completely and strictly is
subdivided into each parts. For example, a craftsman
makes only the head of Japanese dolls , and another
craftsman attaches only the hair. However, there is some
exception. In rare case, One craftsman makes a Japanese
dolls. In this case, The craftsman has some resemblance
to artists. So, Japanese people call such very skilled
craftsman of Japanese dolls "doll artists". (Please

dolls made in KYOTO that is Japan's old capital. On the
