Who is @yotsub4
​
My name is Christine, the mind and hands behind The Little World of Yotsuba & Clan. ​I live and work in sunny city-state Singapore. I am an ordinary person with ordinary interests, who just happens to collect Blythe dolls.
​
How it began
It all began in early 2012 when a friend told me about her Blythes and her doll customising work. I had planned to make a dolly outfit for her as a gift and, to that end, I began gazing into the looking glass. The gift didn't get made. Instead, in December 2012, I went down the rabbit hole.
​
That December, my friend gifted to me my first Blythe. She was a factory Blythe with a tan and ginger hair. Shortly after, I received my first genuine Takara Blythe—Ayanami Rei, a gift from my husband. It was fate. We were on vacation and came upon a Junie Moon pop-up store at Isetan JR Kyoto Station.
​
What it's become
​
What began as a hobby became a refuge, a solace, a world of creative possibilities. Over the years, I have adopted many girls. They complement my other passions. They come travelling with me. They inspire me to sew dolly clothes, set up miniature dioramas, shoot photos.
​
There is something truly fascinating yet terrifying about combining Blythe with my other passions.
