Hello, Doll Face
July 23, 2008
By: Kristin Munro - kristinm@aycmedia.com

A friend recently told me that she’s traveling to Japan later this year for vacation or, as she puts it, “to run around screeching at cute things for two weeks.” No need to travel all that way to fawn over the cartoon-like tchotkes that this country is known for sharing with the world. The Art Museum gift shop is home to the latest Tokyo-cool collectible craze known as Momiji Dolls. Standing at just three inches, these tiny friendship figurines are a modern spin on traditional folk art dolls originally made from scraps of wood. Turn the base upside down to find a tiny card inside to scribble a note to a friend. Looks like I already know what to get as a going-away gift.
 

$12.50, Art Museum
