Today I just thought that to complementthose several post about Japanese Friendship Dolls (Momiji Doll) it might be be better to explore Japanese etiquette in regards to gift giving.

In Japanese culture the presentation of gifts is a meanifingful ritual. Gifts need not be expensive but at the same should  be of high quality . Chocolates or small cakes are a good choice. There are other items that should be avoided such as white flowers as they are associated with funerals.

Gifts should be wrapped in pastel-coloured paper.  When the present is ready it should be given to the recipient using both hands and similarly when receiving a gift that one is given. In Japanese culture the act of giving is more important than the gift itself.

In terms of  other gift recommendations Momiji Dolls are also ideal due to their size. Something with a closer connection to home such as the Foxford  100% pure wool throws make perfect gifts.

Our team is currently creating videos of the cute Momiji Dolls. This is such an exciting project and hope that this will be a valuable source in letting out  messages of these dolls clear.  Momiji dolls are message dolls and each and every one of the doll has its own message. The main message of all the dolls is to Spread some Love.

We are sure you have heard of Hello Kitty (full name is Kitty White), who is a fictional character that resembles a white female Japanese bobtail cat that sports a cute red bow and has been around for more than 30 years. Originally targeted at a pre-teens, and first appeared on a small coin purse made of vinyl; the iconic character of Hello Kitty has become loved by every one of all ages.

There has been a magical collaboration of both these new and old worlds and Momiji has created 6 new collectable dolls that have a Hello Kitty accessory. The names of these six new Momiji dolls are Gigi, Astrid, Stella, Chihiro, Aya and Kipi. An excellent gift for your special friend who lives near or far.

Since we like  some Japanese we just thought this Japanese Garden looks amazing and might be a great inspiration for those who like collecting the Momiji Dolls.

This one being the Tsukiyama Garden which is built on ponds, streams or rivers to give them a more natural landscape scenary.

The uniqueness of these dolls is at the bottom of every Momiji doll is a small slot, big enough to hide a message to your friend or loved one. Each doll comes with a blank folded card to start you off. The fun begins when they are send back and forth and no one but you and your special friend know about the secret notes inside.

Complete Set

These cute, 3 inch tall dolls are hand painted and made from heavy resin and come in a collector’s  box. New styles are created all the time, so older styles are retired early and become a collectors item very quickly.

Momiji are found all over the world, in gift shops, toy stores, clothes, comic, bookstores and even music shops and are fast on their way to be the next collectors craze.
