Description
Shika
Amigurumi (編み包み) is the Japanese art of crocheting small, handmade dolls. Born in postwar Japan, it became a way of offering affection, comfort, and beauty during difficult times. Today, it is part of the kawaii aesthetic, but also reflects a mindful, intentional, and artisanal way of making.
This amigurumi represents a shika (鹿), the Japanese deer, a sacred animal in Japanese tradition. In places like Nara, deer are considered messengers of the gods and symbols of purity, serenity, and connection with nature. Their presence invites us to walk through life with lightness, respect, and harmony.
Each amigurumi is unique and sold separately, hand-crocheted to convey calm and beauty in simplicity.
* Size: 14 cm
