The piece is constructed with a woven straw shelter backdrop, evoking the appearance of a small rustic hut or protective thatched wall often seen in countryside settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the center hangs a small circular straw ornament inscribed with 「おてもやん」 (Otemoyan), a reference to the beloved folk character and traditional Kumamoto folk song that celebrates the cheerful spirit of the region. Below the ornament hangs a bundle of straw, adding texture and reinforcing the rustic atmosphere of the display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo the right side of the shelter is a miniature wooden ladder, where two tiny kokeshi-style figures are playfully seated. The figures are painted with smiling expressions and simple clothing patterns, representing children enjoying a peaceful countryside moment. Their rounded heads and minimal facial features follow the warm aesthetic typical of souvenir kokeshi dolls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA small vertical plaque reading 「水前寺」 (Suizenji) identifies the location associated with the piece—most likely referring to Suizenji Jōjuen Garden in Kumamoto, a famous historic strolling garden known for its beautiful landscapes and cultural heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 17 x 18 x 3cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56815452946763,"sku":"FT397","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/temple_a6c49031-8336-4861-a7bb-983527d242ff.jpg?v=1773730601","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/de\/products\/ft397-omiyage-kokeshi-from-suizenji-%e6%b0%b4%e5%89%8d%e5%af%ba","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
