Its softly smiling face is painted with delicate black brows and eyes, a tiny red mouth, and pale turquoise lines framing the cheeks, giving the figure a gentle and slightly whimsical expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compact body is left largely in the warm natural tone of the wood and decorated with handwritten calligraphy and fine black brushwork. The inscriptions connect the piece to the Izumo region, while the simple, restrained decoration reflects the character of many regional souvenir dolls made to commemorate travel rather than follow the strict conventions of a traditional kokeshi lineage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts broad hat and modest, rounded form evoke the image of a traveller or pilgrim, an especially fitting motif for Izumo, which has long drawn visitors because of its sacred sites, legends, and spiritual traditions. The glossy aged surface and visible wood grain add to the nostalgic appeal of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 5.5 x 5.5 x 6cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58512415719755,"sku":"K05082","price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/Cover_ef4872ef-9be4-4730-adf0-7134a5f01833.jpg?v=1789672535","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/de\/products\/k05082-omiyage-kokeshi-from-izumo-taisha-%e5%87%ba%e9%9b%b2%e5%a4%a7%e7%a4%be","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
