The traditional art of Washi Ningyo, Japanese Paper Dolls, has been cherished in Japan since the early 1500s. Through our exhibits, demonstrations, and workshops, we aim to educate and inspire individuals about the remarkable beauty that can be crafted from paper. This unique art form is not only a testament to our rich cultural heritage but also a creative expression that we hope will endure for generations to come.

With over 30 years of experience, Yurie Nakamura and Rochelle Lum have been dedicated to exhibiting and teaching the art of Washi Ningyo. Their expertise and passion have allowed them to share this captivating tradition with countless enthusiasts.
