The Samurai Dolls I am making for my Kendo friends. 
I have to make their clothes yet so please excuse the squishy naked plushy >_<

This is what i based the hair of the dolls on. I could not get very good picture as it is a photo form my tv screen.  Anyway he is the Japanese character from the movie Warriors of Heaven and Earth.

 The doll with the hairstyle as best I could recreate it using wool, felt, glue and needle and  thread.
