What are Harinuki (papier-mâché) dolls? |
There are two types of harinuki dolls: inner and outer. The inner method involves creating a shape with clay, making a mold with plaster, layering Japanese paper inside the mold, peeling it off when dry, shaping it further with paulownia paste, applying gofun, painting it, and decorating it with fabric or Japanese paper. The piece below was made using this method. The outer involves layering paper on the outside of a wooden mold to create dolls like a tiger doll with a moving head when touched or a daruma doll.

Tōtai (ceramic) dolls |
Tōtai dolls are ceramic dolls made by shaping clay used in ceramics and firing it in a kiln. First, shape the clay, cut it in half to remove the inside leaving about 1 cm thickness, put them back together to the original shape, dry well, and fire in a kiln. It can be finished by coloring after bisque firing or by adding decorations and firing at a higher temperature. By making molds with plaster, identical dolls can be created.
