The Adorable Cats That Are Always by Your Side
The Message
A “cute cat-shaped kokeshi” would be an adorable blend of traditional kokeshi doll designs with cat-like features. Imagine the classic round head of a kokeshi, but with little cat ears added on top. The face would have simple, charming cat-like eyes, whiskers, and maybe even a tiny nose. The body could feature patterns like a cat’s fur or paw prints, and perhaps the cat is wearing a colorful kimono. It’s a delightful combination of tradition and playful modern design!

Product Story
In response to the declining demand for traditional Japanese homes, tansu (traditional Japanese chests), and the decreasing number of skilled artisans able to craft them, as well as the reduced demand for domestic wood, this product was developed to highlight the charm of traditional crafts and the excellence of Japanese timber. Its design focuses on both size and form, with each piece carefully hand-painted to feature intricate and expressive details. The cypress wood used is known for its subtle fragrance, which has calming properties and offers a relaxing effect. By upcycling cypress wood, which would otherwise be discarded due to its decreased use as a building material, this product also contributes to environmental sustainability.
