Custom Figurine Production — We create OEM & original designs for anime characters, event mascots, corporate mascots, local “yuru-chara,” and shrine specialties. Established in 1902 (Meiji 35), Ishikawa Paper Goods.

We handcraft your desired character as a “Washi Roly-Poly Doll — Washi Korokoro.”

Washi Korokoro is a lucky, self-righting Mino-Washi roly-poly doll symbolizing resilience. Each piece is handmade by skilled artisans.
We can also produce kits suitable for workshops and hands-on activities (ideal for attractions, museum shops, and tour programs).

We craft even subtle details with care, using expertise cultivated over many years.

We accept OEM orders! For original products—designs, desired quantities, lead time, pricing, and specifications (papier-mâché, washi products, etc.)—please contact us. We serve B2B wholesale buyers, importers, distributors, and corporate gift programs in North America & Europe.

We will provide a quotation.
