Purpose of this page
Connecting years of memory through data.
Clay dolls are handwork that makes folk tales visible. But storage space and aging make it difficult to preserve every object physically.
This archive will keep a record of each doll through photographs and writing, including which folk tale it belonged to and how it was exhibited or repaired.
Information to keep
Preparing one record sheet for each figure.
Basic information
Title, related folk tale, date, maker, size, and materials will be organized.
Story relationship
Notes will explain which scene the doll shows and its role in the telling.
Storage and repair
Display location, damage, repair, movement, or disposal decisions will be recorded.
Archive shelf in preparation
We will arrange records little by little.
We will begin with activity photographs and already published repair records, then connect them to record sheets for each doll.
