✩If you don't need the auto-dubbing feature, you can turn it off in the settings.

Every polishing cup in the kit has been personally tested by me.
I only include the ones that gave the most beautiful shine, so you can use them with confidence☺️

Right now, I’m testing high-quality mica powder made from Italian minerals.
If you order a colored version, I’ll include a free sample as a little gift! 🎁

…Okay, that’s enough promotion for now 😊

To make things a bit easier on myself,
I’ve started using auto-dubbing and auto-translation features.
But don’t worry — I’ve checked and cleaned up the translated subtitles so you can still enjoy the video clearly.
Feel free to turn them on in your preferred language.

This video is a detailed tutorial on polishing techniques,
especially for those who asked great questions in the comments.

Some parts — like how to move your hands or apply pressure —
can be tricky to explain in workshops,
so I tried to show everything more clearly here.

Applying pressure the wrong way or moving too fast may cause your Dorodango to slip or crack.
So don’t forget:
Keep your heart calm.

If you rush, it may break.
But when your hands are calm and focused,
the Dorodango shines — and it won’t roll away.

Just like Zen practice,
let’s polish with deep attention and presence.

See you in the next video!
