On November 16, 2024, RESOBOX hosted the international debut of the kimekomi doll-making class by Kyugetsu, a renowned Japanese doll manufacturer. This first class was held to coincide with the visit of the company’s president, Hisatoshi Yokoyama, to New York for a special Kyugetsu exhibition at the Nippon Club.
Moving forward, we plan to hold regular classes at our space (91 E 3rd Street, New York, NY 10003).
Through hands-on doll-making experiences, we hope to share the depth and intricacy of Japanese doll craftsmanship with New Yorkers. Looking further into the future, we aim to nurture those who are interested in traditional Japanese crafts such as kimekomi, to help pass these arts on to a new generation.
