Kimmidoll

In the 19^th century Japanese farmers and peasants handcrafted wood into lovable Kokeshi dolls. They were cute kimono dressed characters with simple facial expressions and meaningful names. These dolls represented beautiful values. Japanese Kokeshi enthusiasts exchanged the dolls as a symbol of friendship and good luck.

Today, the tradition still lives, thanks to Kimmidoll.

Kimmidoll is the contemporary Kokeshi. Their aim to share love and happy messages with the world just got a little bit more accessible. Every doll comes in a plastic vinyl collectible box stacked with a positive message. Find more than 60 different dolls, each one with a unique Japanese name, dress, hair color and meaning.

Good luck, joy, generosity, intelligence–whatever you feel you want to express you can find in the form of key chains, magnets, compact mirrors, candles, jewelry, phone charms or collectible Kimmidolls.

Dualistic Shangri-la

There are cute artist-developed worlds that are fun to look at and then there are cute worlds that have that razor edge to them, the ones that slice through into real emotion while maintaining visual appeal. Simone Legno has magically crafted the latter. The artist behind the international Tokidoki brand, Legno mixes the soft lovable shapes and colors of Japanese illustration and an underlying sense seriousness that gives depth and meaning to the world that he shares.

Legno makes it clear that he draws inspiration from all things Japan.  From the beauty and serenity of traditional Japanese women to the snap-crackle-pop culture that flashes its in-your-face, bright, color palette, Legno loves it all. He respects and finds a seemingly endless stream of creativity in the street fashion, art and design that are unmistakably Japanese.

A native Italiano, Legno began the creation process in his youth where he constructed his own toys to play with. This childlike perspective has bled into his current projects. An honest sensibility permeates his artwork and, I don’t know about you, but I can’t help but smile each time I check out his website www.Tokidoki.it to see what he’s been up to.

I’m not the only one who thinks Legno has got it goin’ on. He collaborates with well-known brands such as Fujitsu, Mikasa, Hello Kitty, New Era, X-Box, Smashbox, Ride, Levi’s and Skull Candy (just to name a few).  Chances are that you’ve seen his work in a few different places on your weekend shopping sprees. He’s young, talented and pretty damn good-looking to boot.  Can’t wait to see what is in store for this creator of a universe that is all his own.
