Hariko Paper Figurine {Dog & Persimmon}

This adorable Hariko doll figurine is hand crafted by Kaori Hamasaki - it features a cute dog sitting on a persimmon (!).

Hariko is a traditional Japanese craft with a history of over 400 years. Each piece is created by layering Japanese washi paper over wooden frames, which are left to dry and then meticulously hand-painted. Unlike paper-mache, where paper is soaked in a paste, Hariko uses dry washi, resulting in lightweight yet durable forms.

This Hariko piece has been lovingly handcrafted by Kaori Hamasaki, a talented artist who seamlessly blends traditional techniques with modern designs. Many of her creations are made exclusively for UGUiSU, crafted in her studio just outside Tokyo. Using washi paper and traditional Japanese pigments, each piece reflects Kaori’s dedication to preserving and reimagining this cherished craft for the modern day.
