the nina-chan book

These are pictures from the nina chan book. Isbn4072498866
She seems obviously inspired by Madeleine. Here she is at a metro station!
The clothes are sweet. And some are quite Japanese. Of course Nina needs slippers!
You can see I’ve started scribbling into the book! Terrible, I am! I will be making notes over in my japanese notebook, since it seems more appropriate. I’ll be learning Japanese as I make her.

She looks so adorable.
I think your idea of learning Japanese with a craft book is superb. I’m sure it will provide excellent motivation. I wish I could join you!
Best wishes.

Those shoes! I must make some even if I don’t have dolls.

i’m on a similar mission - trying to keep up some level of japanese/interest in japan through making japanese crafts, mostly amigurumi, and looking at japanese books, magazines and blogs.
i lived in toyama-ken when i was in japan and never made it down to kyushu, but i’m hoping to some day.
よろしく。
