With elegant and refined Kyoto Yuzen kimono, and faces that possess both cuteness and grace, we deliver each doll with the skills and heart passed down from the first generation Shosuke. We hope you will cherish it for a long time, along with your feelings for your beloved and precious person. Shosuke Motoga Born in Osaka in 1946 as the eldest son of the second generation Shosuke Motoga. In 1971, he apprenticed under the second generation. He brilliantly inherited the skills passed down from the first generation and the feelings he puts into Ichimatsu dolls, and in 1981, he succeeded to the name of the third generation Shosuke Motoga. He has received numerous accolades, including certification as a Japanese Hina Doll Association Craftsman, selection for the "Doll Exhibition 50th Anniversary" at the Kyoto Hoken-ji Temple Doll Public Exhibition, and the "Naniwa Master Craftsman" award from Osaka Prefecture in 2007. He has created dolls for museums both domestically and internationally, such as the Osaka Museum of History and the Chini Coles Museum, and is a world-renowned Ichimatsu doll artist, having performed kimono dressing demonstrations at the Japanese Consulate in Seattle, USA.
