The Kaku-bina were revived through the collaboration of local woodworking and dyeing/weaving studios, with the guidance of the Tanaka couple from Yanagiya, a toy workshop in Tottori Prefecture (closed in 2014).
Yanagiya produced hundreds of toys, originally created by the founder, Tatsunosuke Tanaka, and later inherited by his eldest daughter and her husband. Although they closed their business in 2014 due to old age, our project began the reproduction of these toys in 2020.
They are called "Kaku-bina" (嘉久雛). The "kaku" in Kaku-bina does not refer to the character for "square" (角), but rather the characters "嘉久" (meaning auspicious and joyful). They were made with the wish that happiness and joy would continue eternally.We are deeply grateful to be able to carry on the legacy left by Yanagiya.
