Known for its unspoiled natural beauty, Oze is especially celebrated for its seasonal wildflowers, most notably the mizubashō (水芭蕉) or Asian skunk cabbage, which takes center stage in this piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kokeshi is handcrafted from shirakaba (白樺), white birch wood, a material prized for its pale tone, which perfectly complements the natural aesthetic of the doll. Retaining the bark along the body, the kokeshi embodies a rustic and organic feel, evoking the raw beauty of the Oze landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts hand-painted face bears a gentle, joyful expression, while the front is adorned with a striking depiction of mizubashō, the elegant white flowers that bloom across Oze’s wetlands in spring. In Japanese culture, mizubashō symbolizes purity, serenity, and the quiet renewal of life that comes with the seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth a folk art treasure and a heartfelt regional souvenir, this kokeshi celebrates Oze’s iconic flora and Japan’s deep cultural reverence for nature’s fleeting moments. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 5 x 5 x 17cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58099380552011,"sku":"K18170","price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/Cover_9d98ab7d-7208-44a5-a328-64fbbf66d53d.jpg?v=1786433866","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/fr\/products\/k18170-omiyage-kokeshi-doll-from-oze-%e5%b0%be%e7%80%ac","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
