Kitsune are spirit foxes from Japanese legends and folk tales, and we've been making Kitsune plush dolls for years. We had a cat doll nearing completion and no firm idea on how it should be costumed, and then it struck: a Catsune. <groan> We don't know of any Japanese stories about cat spirits who can masquerade as people, but clearly there ought to be such stories. Just our misfortune that since we can't read Japanese we'll never know of them.
The Catsune is an 18 inch tall jointed doll made of fine synthetic plush with polyfill stuffing. Fabrics and colors of kimonos vary.
Stuffe & Nonsense Stuffemal plush dolls and animal character figures are original soft sculpture designs, individually hand crafted in California by the Stuffe Staff. While we do have some stuffemals on hand, we usually make them on order, so delivery time for your plush doll will be two to eight weeks. Construction and material details vary depending on our design goals for the character involved and the materials on hand. The plush figures are constructed of mohair, wool, alpaca or high-quality synthetic faux fur. Clothing and costume are also hand-made by Stuffe & Nonsense; jewelry and props are from diverse sources. Stuffe & Nonsense Stuffemals often use glass eyes or small parts and are not suitable for young children.
