About Jidanwawa

Huahua portrait

Hi, I’m Huahua.

I’m an artist and doll designer based in China. Through drawing, screen printing, and sewing, I create handmade dolls and figures inspired by folk culture, seasonal traditions, and the things that capture my imagination.

Creating has always been my way of spending time with ideas. I enjoy observing, thinking, and watching an idea slowly take shape. There is something endlessly fascinating about turning a sketch, a feeling, or a passing thought into something that can be held in the hands.

The Zodiac Collection has been one of my longest-running and most meaningful projects. It began with a simple wish to create special New Year gifts for friends and family.

Over time, some began to say:

“Receiving a Jidanwawa zodiac figure is when the new year truly begins.”

Those words stayed with me. What began as a personal project gradually became part of a shared tradition.

I hope these works bring warmth, imagination, and a small sense of celebration into the places they arrive.
