A vintage figure depicts Kintarō, the legendary child hero of Japanese folklore, in a whimsical and affectionate folk art style. Originating from Gōra, Hakone, a well-known hot spring and cultural region in Kanagawa Prefecture, this doll is a nostalgic souvenir that captures the playful spirit of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
Dressed in a fundoshi-style outfit with a painted haragake apron bearing the kanji for "金" (gold). His rounded limbs and expressive face are delicately hand-painted, with blue accents on his headband and sleeves adding a soft, boyish charm. The figure is fixed to a light green base with “強羅” (Gōra) inscribed, emphasizing its regional identity.
This doll celebrates the beloved childhood tale of Kintarō, raised by a mountain witch and known for his superhuman strength and friendship with animals. A delightful piece of Showa-era folk art, it brings with it a sense of adventure, innocence, and timeless storytelling from the heart of Hakone.
