Hakata dolls are characterized by a calm aesthetic created by unglazed painting and delicate carving. Hand-painted bisque dolls have multiple layers of white pigment undercoats made from seashells. After undercoating, the kimono was decorated with flower patterns and colored with gold. The facial finish, applied only by the most experienced craftsmen, captures the spirit of the doll. It is delicate and hates direct sunlight. To keep her in top condition, it is best handled using her cloth and gloves.
