Painting Ouchi dolls to bring happiness and good fortune

You can paint on mini keychains of "Ouchi Dolls," a traditional craft from Yamaguchi City in the neighboring prefecture of Yamaguchi, using lacquer.
Learn from Mai Tsumura, a young Ouchi lacquerware craftsman, and paint the body pattern and face to your liking.
You choose either a male doll (black) or a female doll (red) and paint the face and body of the doll. Later, it will be delivered to your home as a keychain with a bell attached.
