Amigurumi
Amigurumi is "crochet fluffy toy", it is a Japanese technique for handmade crochet dolls. The amigurumi is more than just a hobby in Japan; it is part of the kawaii culture, that mean cute, loving, adorable. Beyond the toy, amigurumis pursue the goal to feed the child spirit that we all carry inside. Each amigurumi has a "soul" that makes him, according to tradition, partner of his owner and confidant for life; in this way, provides protection and comfort in stress and sadness times. These figures are attachment objects, linked to friendship concepts, complicity and company. In some cases, they are used as personal talisman, at home, in business, or work. The amigurumis are made with spiral crochet technique, that makes continuous fabric. There are as many amigurumi varieties as you can imagine; the crochet hook allows to create different shapes that, once joined with needle and thread, form dolls and figures as simple or complex as the craftsperson's imagination allows.
