I wish I could take a class! I live on the side of the globe! I adore Washi Ningyo! I have been making 'flat" ningyo using regular origami papers.

Keep in contact with Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California where I teach. It is hard to teach a beginner workshop by zoom but we plan to have a video or zoom class in the future. It's a work in progress. Google their website.

I love these dolls and will try to make one! It would be useful to have the measurements of both the head and the kimono. It's possible? Thanks for these videos and congratulations!

[@broireallyjustcameherewith8318]

Can you pls recommend a site online where I can buy large sheets of paper for these dolls? I'm having a hard time finding some good quality and large enough for an outfit.

[@shotaaizawaofficial3939]

Thank u very much

[@jvthebest2891]

Is the kimono paper same just washi paper or is it a different type of paper material

[@rochellelum9390]

Same as washi paper. But you can use any paper to make kimono. Trial by error when using other non Japanese washi paper.

[@heatherwheeler828]

hi there were do u get your paper i live in usa thats why i ask i am sorry

[@KevinEPratt]

I bought some doll heads. Figurines and some hair pieces, I was wonderful if you knew who I could contact to find out more about these pieces.

[@rochellelum9390]

Please contact Japanese Cultural Community Center of Northern Calif

[@grumpymoose6800]

I doubt you'll ever see this but is the thinner paper for the skin called something other than washi paper? The hair and clothing paper seems to have a different texture, less thin. How would you word it to order the thin white skin paper?

[@rochellelum9390]

The face paper used is call shiraume . Hair paper is from black kozo, mulberry plant fiber. Washi means traditional Japanese paper

[@hagamosartetuyyo77]

wooooooooooooowwwwwwwwww

[@lialaujordan5176]

Hi Melody… where do I buy the tools to make Japanese dolls? Love your channel…❤️

[@melodytakata6651]

So glad you enjoyed this video. She is very popular! You can contact the "Japanese Cultural and Community Center of No. California by email and request the information from Rochelle Lum who is an instructor at the center. Or if you live in SF you can take classes from her!

[@rochellelum9390]

You can use a pencil and 2 spools of thread. The pencil should be able to go through the hole on top of the spool. If there are other slots on tip, cover them with a flat piece of cardboard. You only want to use the center holes.

[@AlbertaMartian]

@@rochellelum9390 what an EXCELLENT suggestion! Thank you.

[@ranAbyssinian]

Hi, what kind of paper do you use on the head?

[@rochellelum9390]

It's a kind of mulberry paper from Japan. But you can try using square coffee filter that is thin or tissue paper but becareful it can tear easily because it does not have long or strong fibers.

[@SharmSarah]

Thank you for the tutorial. Where can I buy the hair making tool you use?

[@melodytakata6651]

Please contact Rochelle Lum “washi ningyo”@Japanese Cultural Community Center of N. CA. 94115. Send an email or postal service to ask your questions. Thank you for watching!

[@rochellelum9390]

You can use a pencil and 2 spools of thread for crushing hair paper

[@gitashaw8172]

👌👌👌

[@charukulkarni4758]

Pl description of all part magerment ।The name of tool ? Thank you so much mam 🥰

[@rochellelum9390]

You can use a pencil and 2 spools of thread, making sure pencil can go through center of spool. The hair tool I use no longer is made. Measurements are in cm, use tweezer, scissor and Elmar white glue not school glue. Japanese Paper or paper with long fiber. Not origami paper. For face you can use square coffee filter or if careful white wrapping tissue paper.

[@angelinegeorge275]

Nice. But u are going too fast .u need to show the demo closer n slowly step by step. Its hard to follow thus at a speed

[@rochellelum9390]

I had a time limit of about 15 mins to show entire process. It usually takes a beginner 3 to 4 hrs to make doll. Please contact Jcccnc if you are interested in zoom class. Beginner classes won't be until next year. 2023
