This video was originally created as a special class for those who purchased the Dorodango Kit. But I decided to share it publicly so that more people can discover the beauty and healing power of Dorodango.

Even if you’re collecting your own materials, I hope this video helps you.
And if you’d like to support my work, sharing this video means a lot.

Dorodango is still not well known around the world.
Your small action can help spread its beauty and peaceful spirit.
Let’s share this beautiful art of healing together. 🌍✨

Apply a small amount of oil inside the cup,

This will bring back a beautiful shine. ✨

If it ever gets cloudy again, repeat the same step.
Now you have a “forever shining Dorodango.” 🌍

💎For those making Dorodango from their own materials:
The clay used in this kit is a natural clay that contains fine silt, similar to topsoil.
You can also use bentonite or kaolin, but the water ratio and drying time will differ.

Choose sand finer than 0.3mm.
For rough shaping, a tool with a sharp edge works best.

You can use a bottle or shot glass for polishing,
but the best shape is one that allows steady pressure.

The egg cup included in my kit has been hand-tested—
I polish with each one and only include those that shine beautifully.

The mica powder comes from Italy and Spain,
creating an elegant and natural sparkle. ✨
