Design & Features

  • Dynamic Outer Mantle: Carved from a beautifully dark, high-grain wood, the deep outer cloak wraps around the figure's body, creating a striking contrast against the lighter wood underneath.

  • Intricate Hand-Painted Details: The inner kimono and lower skirt are decorated with delicate white folding fans (sensu) and subtle floral accents.

  • Elegant Coiffure: Features a serene facial expression and an elaborate topknot hairdo, topped with a distinct red-patterned bun ornament (kanzashi).

  • Accessories: Holds a hand-carved, traditional striped Japanese umbrella (wagasa) tucked along her side.

  • Artist Signed & Stamped: Includes a handwritten artist signature and a traditional red artisan stamp (hanko) on the back, along with "Kawatani" (川谷) and the red hot spring (onsen) symbol marked on the base.
