The base retains the bark's natural texture, evoking the feeling of winter forests and snow-covered landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe doll’s face is delicately hand-painted with soft red accents on the cheeks and hair, giving it a warm and innocent expression. Dressed in a traditional padded kimono with regional patterns, the figure is wrapped in a straw mino (cape) and a plaid cloth hood — an attire reminiscent of children bundled up in snowy rural villages of northern Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis style of kokeshi captures not just the imagery of winter but the nostalgic lifestyle of children playing or helping in snowy countryside scenes. As a souvenir from Ikaho, this snow child symbolizes the town's cozy, welcoming atmosphere and its deep-rooted appreciation of seasonal beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 7 x 7 x 16cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"≈15cm","offer_id":55887922102603,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/temple_307d2374-2e4e-4367-b48d-8b85cab3f5c3.jpg?v=1762892809","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/de\/products\/k15097-omiyage-kokeshi-from-ikaho-onsen-%e4%bc%8a%e9%a6%99%e4%bf%9d%e6%b8%a9%e6%b3%89","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
