Pokemon Dratini, MATARO Edo Kimekomi, Japanese Traditional Handmade Doll: $199.00
Pokémon × Edo Kimekomi Ningyo — Dratini (ミニリュウ)
An officially licensed Pokémon collaboration doll made in the Edo kimekomi tradition, a Tokyo craft dating back roughly 280 years. Rather than sewing fabric into a shell, the artisan carves fine grooves into a wooden-composite body and tucks the fabric edges into them by hand — the technique that gives kimekomi dolls their crisp, seamless lines.
Dratini is rendered in soft blue and white textured cloth with a red-and-gold mizuhiki cord at the neck, and comes with a black lacquer-look base, a gold folding screen (byōbu), and a calligraphy nameplate.
