Daikanbō is a high-altitude stop on the Alpine Route overlooking Kurobe Lake and the surrounding Northern Japan Alps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure represents a Yukinko (雪ん子, “snow child”), an affectionate folk image associated with Japan’s snowy mountain regions. The small wooden figure is almost completely enclosed in a beautifully constructed woven straw covering, recalling the traditional straw capes and protective garments once used to shelter travellers and rural people from heavy snow and harsh winter weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly the softly painted face remains visible through the opening. Its narrow black eyes, delicate brows, white nose accent and tiny red mouth create the gentle expression characteristic of vintage Japanese souvenir dolls. Beneath the straw covering, the body is painted in deep indigo blue with bold red and white geometric details, producing a striking contrast with the natural colour of the straw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inscription on the base reads 「立山黒部アルペンルート」 and 「大観峰 2316M」, directly linking the doll to its place of purchase. The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route crosses the Northern Japan Alps and is renowned for its extreme mountain scenery and high elevations, making the warmly wrapped Yukinko an especially appropriate souvenir motif.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 7 x 7 x 20cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58512458711371,"sku":"K20174","price":28.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/Cover_cfa49ecf-1caf-42f2-8e36-5501088d5d6c.jpg?v=1789673038","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/fr\/products\/k20174-omiyage-kokeshi-from-daikanbo-%e5%a4%a7%e8%a6%b3%e5%b3%b0","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
