@@averymasters Wow! I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you so much!! 😆❤️ Just recently, I had a phone conversation with the most famous Dorodango master in Japan, who carries on the tradition of making Dorodango. He shared a lot of fascinating history and information about the materials used! I learned so much and I’d love to share it with everyone! I’m working on the video at a slow pace, so please look forward to it! 😆 When it’s finished, be sure to come and watch!😍😍
Thank you! In Japan, everyone knows about it, but it’s still not widely known around the world. I’m so happy you discovered it! 😆🫶🏻 Thank you for finding this video 💓
There's something just so beautiful about making a perfect, shining sphere that is also ephemeral and fleeting in its state. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely art with us, you're a very dear and precious lady 💖
Yes, it is! This art holds such an ephemeral beauty. When placed outside, it gets slowly dissolved by the rain. Just as nature creates diamonds 💎, bringing a shine to the mud with your own hands brings a deep sense of fulfillment and joy! 😊🫶🏻
I’m so happy!! It took me 5 days to make this video 🥹 I want to share everything I’ve learned so that many people can enjoy a relaxing time making dorodango! Please give it a try and have fun 🥹✨✨ If you’re on Instagram, send me a picture of your creation through DM ☺️❤️

I remember doing something like this as a school project only we used ceramic clay like stuff like this starting with a marble size of desired shape with a hookup to make it into neckless mine was a star fire it paint with ceramic paint fire it and shine it put a layer on top of it enough that it was covered and a ball shape fire paint fire shine repeat 30 times with 1/4 inch thickness each time we did a good thing we broke a layer when we got the trinket we got a 24k gold chain to put it on and we repeated for next one we made around 20 of them each I had to move after I got my first one it was a fun thing been thinking of doing something like that have a piggy bank with calendar put money in every month poke holes for each day to put pins in to track days break layer for next month to show my B-Day is Jan 3 so all saved money will be inside the December calendar the last layer so break it on first of Jan or 3rd of course I will not count how much money I will put in have some in from biggening add random amount each month think that will be cool
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful memory! It’s so interesting that you did such a great project at school✨ Your new idea for the piggy bank and calendar is really unique! I hope you give it a try! I’m cheering for you 😊💓 Let me know if you make something new!
It’s truly fascinating how raw soil can become mirror-like, isn’t it? ☺️✨ One of the great things about Dorodango is that, since it doesn’t require firing, anyone can try making it at home! ✨
What type of clay should I get? Are there any available on amazon that you would recommend? I see bentonite, kaolin, french, Moroccan, and several more lol
Clay powder can be just regular clay powder! As for the sand, it’s best to use something very fine. If you’re unsure about what to use, I’ve made a kit available for purchase starting yesterday! It includes all the carefully selected tools, soil, and sand that I personally use. You can find it on Etsy, so feel free to check it out! ☺️✨✨🫶🏻www.etsy.com/jp/shop/ShinyDorodango
Thanks so much for your videos, love your sharing. Some questions Is it possible to make several dorodango and not finish them the next day? Can they dry completely? Is there a way to get them done in one day? Looking forward to your next movie😍
@@nilssonjess You can definitely make several dorodango cores and leave them for later! I’ve had ones sit for over a month and they were still fine 😊🙌❤️ And yes, there’s also a way to finish them in one day! However, the moisture trapped inside the layers will evaporate overnight, causing the surface to become cloudy the next day. If that happens, you’ll need to polish it again until the cloudiness disappears, but you can still make it shine in just one day! It’s easier if you let the moisture out and continue the next day, so I usually spread the process over two days 😊👍👍 Feel free to ask me anything if you have more questions! 😆 Give it a try, it’s so much fun!
I don’t apply any coating! However, since it’s in its raw, unfired state, it will dissolve if it gets wet. If you handle it with dry hands, it can maintain its shine for quite a long time! It’s amazing how just polishing clay and sand can make it shine, isn’t it? 😆✨✨💓 Please give it a try!
They are sensitive to sweaty hands and water, so they dissolve when wet. 😊 But if you simply display them, they’ll keep their shine indefinitely! On a Japanese TV show featuring Dorodango, they even showed ones that were made 40 years ago. 😊 Some had small chips, but they still shined!
Thank you for the recipe. I'm unfortunately able to go collect and prepare appropriate earth from my area, so making my own is really the only option at this time. I wish it were different, the clay here is VERY red and truly stunning. But I love the idea of using pigment powders. How long do yours last? I know some people say that they don't hold up over time.
Since the clay layer is deep underground, I can’t just dig up soil from roadsides or parks here in my country, so I buy both clay powder and fine sand ☺️ It sounds amazing that you live in a place with red soil! 🫶🏻🥹💓💓 If the soil lacks stickiness, it may crack soon after making the dorodango. Adding clay content can help it hold together better! ☺️
It’s an egg cup! 🥚 It’s actually meant for holding boiled eggs. 😊💓 For larger dorodangos, I use the top of the cup to polish, and for smaller ones, I use the bottom part. It’s made of ceramic! You can also polish with glass cups, but having a curved shape works best. Let me know if you have any more questions! 😆
@@DorodangoNoriko-u3x Thank you! I thought it looked familiar lol I actually have one somewhere deep in a cupboard in my kitchen. You've inspired me! ✨💖✨
I made two with actual dirt. They both cracked 😢 a lot of hours wasted. I'm going to try putting some clay in my next one. I didn't know that this mix was an option. Thank you for sharing 😊 do you think that using a fine ground colored chalk would work for pigment?
There is a method of making Dorodango using Japanese plaster, which is made of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), the same as chalk. This means chalk could potentially work similarly to create a shiny surface. If you powder the chalk and mix it with clay powder, it might produce a glossy finish when polished. It’s not certain, but it could shine! The finer the chalk particles, the smoother and shinier the result could be. I’m thinking of trying this myself and making a video! Let me know how it works out for you too! 😊❤️
@@YooYooYT Yes! Please use something smooth. Both glass and ceramic will make it shine beautifully 😊✨ Thank you for the compliment on the video!! I want more people to enjoy making shiny Dorodango, so if you manage to make yours shine beautifully, please show it to your friends and help spread the word about Dorodango! 💓😊😊
@@YooYooYT That’s absolutely wonderful! 🥹 I wish there was a way to post photos in the comments 😭✨ I would’ve loved to see your Dorodango!! If you’re on Instagram, feel free to send me a picture in a DM! ☺️
“If there’s Amazon in your country, I think you can find clay powder by searching for it there☺️ You can also collect fine sand from outside and sift it, or you can buy it! 😊❤️ Please have fun making it! If you’re on Instagram, send me a picture of your finished Dorodango via DM! 😆😆✨

❓Hi👋 I have a question. Does it get hard at all? Do they make a sound if you roll 2 of them together? Like medicine balls?

Hey one question can you use any oil besides olive oil for polishing
Yes! You can use other oils! Just make sure to use a heavier oil, as something with high volatility won’t work well. Give it a try! 😊✨✨
