I'm in Japan and I don't know what you're talking about. Care to explain, or at least include a photo?

what is a wishing doll...?

 

[doinkies]

maybe he's referring to a だるま doll?

A wishing doll is typically a Caribbean doll which tends to have appropriate features for its origin--- that is, it's a 'black' doll, not a 'white' doll. You are supposed to tell your wishes to this doll to wit these wishes will come true in some way...

This is what I'm talking about

Well... this is what I'm talking about...

Since I cannot add URLs just yet maybe someone can add it on my behalf... Look up OTOP, Wishing Doll on Google (store-mix.com/ko-bai/product.php?pid=426621).

But like I said... instructions are in Japaneseﾂ… :?

Thanks, LA

It's a doll, to whom you tell wishes... I don't think there needs to be any more instruction than that. Assides from the hoary old technique of all wishes, that they be told in silent, or secret--- I don't think there is a way to do it wrong.

hi,all.

This might be too late to reply...
but I've just got a "wishing doll" andﾂ I was looking for how to use this... and I fond it.

It's said....

"I am loveable, rich and strong.
If you need some of my strength, love or money you can have all I've got
but you need to fold my arms for strength, cross my legs for love and
if you need money, tie my hands behind my back."

and people said

"Then all you need to do is hang me up where you can see me and have faith."

I guess mine is a fake one. lol My broter got one for me as a souvenir from Hawai. I did not even know whay that was then my friend told me it's a kind of wishing doll!

Anyway, I thought it's interesting and I'll try to make a wish with this!

That's all I've got.
Thanks
