Pokémon Edo Kimekomi Doll: Snivy Joins the Lineup of Traditional Craftsmanship

The Pokémon Snivy has officially become the latest addition to the Edo Kimekomi doll collection, blending the beloved Grass-type Pokémon with centuries-old Japanese craftsmanship. Produced by Mataro Dolls, this exclusive collaboration continues the tradition of celebrating Pokémon through intricate and timeless artistry.

The Charm of Snivy in Kimekomi Form

Snivy, known for its graceful and adorable appearance, has captured the hearts of Pokémon fans since its debut. In this Edo Kimekomi doll, Snivy’s charm is preserved with extraordinary attention to detail. From its serene expression to the delicate leaf on its tail, the doll embodies the soft and gentle essence of traditional craftsmanship.

Each doll is created using techniques passed down over 280 years, originating from the Genbun era of the Edo period. This fusion of a modern icon with traditional artistry makes the Snivy doll not just a Pokémon collectible but also a cultural treasure.

A Tradition of Pokémon Collaboration

Mataro Dolls began incorporating Pokémon into their craft in 2019, starting with Pikachu. Each release has been met with great enthusiasm, with last year’s doll, Dintyu, drawing significant attention. Snivy is the latest in this line of celebrated collaborations, further showcasing the versatility of Edo Kimekomi techniques.
