Along with Biella in Italy and Huddersfieldin England, Bishu is one of the world’s three largest wool producing regions.

The origin of “Tsurushi-bina” dates back to the Edo period (1603-1867), when girls were born and decorated the dolls on their first DollFestival to pray for their healthy growth and good luck in the future. This design is filled with our wish for the healthy growth of your beloved dogs.
