"OMOCHA" Japanesse Toys

JAPANESE TOYS

We have selected, from among the enormous variety of Japanese toys, a collection focused on three themes: New Year toys, Traditional Toys and Modern ones.

The main characteristic that enhances the assortment of Japanese toys is the dexterity attained by all craftsmen.

The Japanese toy comes in many shapes and styles, some inherited from China and the Peninsula of Corea from ancient times, others highly ingenious originated at different regions in the country; while many are handmade with natural materials, one can also find those developed after the second half of the XIXth Century, greatly influenced by the United States and European trends.

Nowadays there are more than four thousand types of toys which have been classified by material and usage, and practically nowhere in the world can one find such an immensely rich variety.

Through these many pieces, we offer you the ‘inherited tradition’ still perceptible in present day toys, as well as those with great similarities with toys all over the world.
