KARMA NO.1｜One-of-a-kind Natural Gourd Art Toy
KARMA NO.1｜One-of-a-kind Natural Gourd Art Toy
Description
KARMA is a small creature born from a natural gourd
Each KARMA is one of a kind, shaped by nature and finished by hand in Japan. The double-gourd form naturally resembles the number “8”, a symbol associated with fortune, prosperity, and positive energy in many Asian cultures.
KARMA NO.2 features a natural ocean chalcedony stone on its head, paired with natural leather and cotton cord details. The soft yellow gourd body keeps its natural texture, subtle unevenness, and quiet handmade presence.
The character is inspired by sea turtles — gentle, ancient, and deeply connected to the ocean. Through KARMA, HULU STUDIO hopes to share a softer way of looking at the world: one shaped by nature, tenderness, and cultural imagination.
KARMA is not only an art toy, but also a small guardian-like object. Its expression feels a little tired, a little distant, yet quietly kind — like a tiny creature observing the human world with calm and patience.
Each KARMA also hopes to meet an owner whose energy feels quietly connected to its own. If you feel drawn to this character, you can also collect its postcard to discover its birthday information and compare whether its quiet little fortune may be in harmony with yours.
By collecting KARMA, you are not only bringing home a one-of-a-kind art toy, but also supporting original independent creation and the slow growth of HULU STUDIO’s character universe.
HULU STUDIO reimagines natural gourds through original characters, traditional symbolism, and slow handcraft. By transforming this humble natural fruit into a contemporary art toy, the studio hopes to let more people feel the beauty of traditional culture in a new and living form.
This work is part of HULU STUDIO’s original character and design universe, with intellectual property registration in Japan.
30% of the profit from this work will be donated to ocean protection causes.
