Amigurumi
The history of amigurumi is quite blurry. The technique was made in China, where dolls were made from ancient times, but there is not much evidence that they have become popular over the last ten or twenty years. In the 1970s, the "kawaii" (cute) culture in Japan was explosive when they were like Hello Kitty, and the golden Japanese occupation really started. At the end of the 1980s, the Japanese national broadcaster NHK introduced itself as an "Ami" and the amigurum madness was born. In 2002, the Japanese Amigurumi Association was established, which shares information and promotes amigurum design.
Nowadays, the "amigurumi" search in the Amazon of Japan returns nearly 200 patterns and nearly 300 sets of samples,. This does not include hundreds of millions of patterns that are available on the internet, usually indie designers.
