Custom Hariko (Papier-Mâché) Production — We create OEM and original designs for anime characters, event mascots, corporate mascots, local “yuru-chara,” and shrine specialties. Established in 1902 (Meiji 35), Ishikawa Paper Goods — Made-in-Japan manufacturer for B2B wholesale and corporate gifts.

We craft your chosen character as a handmade Mino-washi okiagari-koboshi (roly-poly) doll, “Washi Korokoro.”

“Washi Korokoro” is an auspicious okiagari-koboshi that embodies resilience—“fall down seven times, stand up eight”—made of premium Mino-washi. Each piece is handcrafted by experienced artisans.
Also available as kits suitable for workshops, corporate team-building, museums, and gift-making events.

We meticulously capture subtle nuances. Every detail is produced with craftsmanship refined over many years.

OEM orders welcome! For your original products—design, desired quantity, lead time, pricing, and specifications (hariko papier-mâché, washi goods, etc.)—please contact us. Private-label, licensed characters, and promotional merchandise for retail chains and attractions are supported.

We provide quotations.
