Original character doll production – we create OEM and fully custom-made dolls for anime characters, event mascots, corporate mascots, local “yuru-chara” mascots and iconic shrine characters. Ishikawa Paper Goods, founded in 1902 (Meiji 35) in Mino City, Gifu, is a leading Mino Washi Japanese paper craft manufacturer supplying wholesale Japanese souvenirs and traditional dolls to importers, distributors, museum shops and tourist attractions in Europe, North America and worldwide.

We will turn your chosen character into a handmade Japanese washi roly-poly doll, ”Washi Korokoro”, a unique okiagari-koboshi mascot perfect as a premium Japanese souvenir and character good.

“Washi Korokoro” is a Mino Washi okiagari roly-poly doll symbolizing “fall down seven times, get up eight” and bringing good luck and fortune. Each piece is carefully handmade by experienced artisans.
We can also produce DIY kits that are ideal for hands-on workshops, corporate team-building events, and Japanese culture experiences for inbound tour groups and overseas visitors.

Original Product Case Studies 

An artist’s original character turns into an okiagari-koboshi roly-poly doll! ! 

Concert merchandise × Mino Washi
“Washi Korokoro Komari-chan”!!!

We received an order to create premium concert merchandise and produced a special okiagari-koboshi roly-poly doll at our studio.
*As this is an OEM product, it is not available for direct sale from our company.  

Even if it falls over, it stands up again and again – a lucky charm designed with the “fall down seven times, get up eight” spirit.
We manufactured it based on the design data provided by the client, making it ideal as licensed character goods and Japanese concert tour souvenirs.    

At Ishikawa Paper Goods, we turn your characters into original handmade dolls, each crafted one by one. 
Just like Komari-chan, if you can provide us with design data, we can produce it for you. Please feel free to consult us about OEM character merchandise, Japanese souvenirs and gift items. 
We are always happy to receive OEM inquiries!
