Kimekomi Doll Display at the Obon Festival




As we know that Carolyn Sawai is a master in making Kimekomi Dolls.   The doll group has a nice display at the Obon Festival as well.   Here are photos of these beautiful dolls.  Each takes advance skills and days and weeks to complete, they are artists creations, not just dolls.




















What is Obon Festival?  You can google the term, or use this simplified version of the description:
Obon is a fusion of the ancient Japanese belief in ancestral spirits and a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the spirits of the on's ancestors.
