Kamo (also kimekomi) dolls are made of carved wood with silk crepe or gold brocade pasted into the contours of their bodies. They are so-named because they were traditionally carved from leftover pieces of the willow or boxwood used to make sacred implements for the Kamo (Kamigamo and Shimogamo) shrines in Kyoto.
