You can find representative works that are uniquely Toyama, such as "Janome Dorei" (a type of clay bell), "Ohina-sama" (a type of doll used in the Hina Matsuri festival), "Owara Kaze no Bon" (a type of festival), and "The Zodiac Series."

Located in a corner of the Toyama City Folk Art Village, "Toyama Clay Doll Workshop" is a small workshop where you can experience the charm of Toyama's traditional craft, "Toyama clay dolls."

The greatest joy is being able to paint on these clay dolls, which are characterized by their simple and gentle texture that has been passed down since the Edo period, with your own hands.
