Here’s a Japanese twist to a Russian tradition!

The Hello Kitty dolls are created to look like the Matryoshka dolls of Russia, a set of dolls of decreasing sizes placed inside the other. The traditional ones are usually known for the intricacy of their design, which is usually hand-painted.

These Sanrio ones, while not as detailed as the tradition matryoshka dolls, more than make up for it in its cuteness!
