SUMMARY:Cultural Demonstration: Kimekomi Ningyo (Kimekomi Dolls)
DESCRIPTION:\nA display of kimekomi dolls created by Gael Sapiro.\n\n\n\nKimekomi Ningyo (木目込人形) is a style of traditional Japanese doll made of wood dating back about 300 years. The artist making the doll tucks fabric into grooves on the wooden form to dress the doll. Come hear Gael Sapiro talk about the dolls and demonstrate on a work in progress from 1:15-2:15pm in the Jordan Schnitzer Japanese Arts Learning Center.\n\n\n\nThe term kimekomi refers to the method of making dolls and translates as the “act of pushing something into grooves that have been cut in wood.” Dollmaker Gael Sapiro will discuss the history of the craft\, describe the tools she uses\, and share examples of her work.\n\n\n\nLeading up to our Doll’s Day Festival on March 2\, Portland Japanese Garden celebrates dolls. Hina Matsuri\, also called Doll’s Day or Girl’s Day\, which is celebrated each year in Japan on March 3 to celebrate the happiness\, growth\, and good health of girls. This talk will take place near a traditional display of&nbsp\;hina&nbsp\;dolls\, featuring a 5-tiered display representing the Emperor and Empress with members of the Imperial Court.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nGael Sapiro studied the traditional craft of making Kimekomi Ningyo for six years as a member of the San Francisco-East Bay Miyabikai.&nbsp\;She has demonstrated this craft at the San Francisco Cherry Blossom Festival and at doll clubs across Oregon.\n\n\n\nHina Matsuri Events\n\n\n\nPortland Japanese Garden is celebrating Hina Matsuri throughout late February and early March!
