Characteristics of Gogatsu Ningyo by Ishikawa Junpei Studio

1. Beautifully-balanced whole form

Our dolls look beautiful from every angle as the forms are well-balanced.

Even the skeletal frame and the weight are considered, so the dolls look beautifully balanced.

2. Facial expressions depicted with a brush

Ordinary dolls tend to have artificial glass eyes, but the eyes of our dolls are drawn with a brush.

(Because the glass eyes cannot show the expressions the artist wish to show, he prefers to use a brush to attain his ideal expression) 

3. Well-balanced hands and feet

Hands and feet are created to fit the appearance of the children.
