Local toys and traditional crafts made at Takashiba Deco Yashiki and other places in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture.
Also called Miharu dolls or Miharu papier-mâché, they are officially called Takashiba papier-mâché. The roots are said to be the “Fushimi dolls” of Kyoto, and the culture of Kyoto was brought to the Tohoku area during the Edo period through Kitamae ships, and “Sagara dolls” (Yonezawa, Yamagata Prefecture) and “Tsutsumi dolls” (Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture), and since Date Masamune, lord of Sendai, had a wife named Megohime from the Miharu domain, the Kyoto culture flowed from Sendai to the Miharu area. The culture of Kyoto is said to have flowed from Sendai to the Miharu area. One of the charms of local toys is the discovery of how old cultures spread and spread to other parts of the country, and how they have something in common even though they are far away from each other.
