Haruna no Kimekomi (榛名の木目込) is a technique originating from the Haruna region in Gunma Prefecture. This method involves carving wooden doll bodies with grooves, into which fabric is tucked and glued, creating intricate, beautifully dressed dolls. The art form dates back to the Edo period and is known for its precision and attention to detail. These dolls, often used in festivals or as deco- rative pieces, reflect the elegance of traditional Japanese attire and craftsmanship, preserving cultural heritage through their detailed designs and textures.
