An authentic, made-to-order dorodango made of soil from the Humber River.
Dorodango, a traditional Japanese art form, traces its origins back to the ancient rural villages. It involves crafting beautiful, polished spheres using only soil and water. This meditative art requires patience and skill as artisans carefully layer and mold the soil, forming a smooth, compact core. As they add layers, each unique soil composition contributes to the final appearance, imparting distinct colors and textures, making every dorodango a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Beyond its artistic allure, dorodango embodies cultural significance, symbolizing simplicity, harmony with nature, and the beauty found in the ordinary.
