This piece was made by Hakugenkyo Yūgaku (白玄居尤岳).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTengu are powerful figures in Japanese folklore, often regarded as mountain guardians and spiritual beings. Their fierce expression, long nose, and sharp gaze symbolize strength, protection, and the mysterious atmosphere of sacred mountain places.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe head of this kokeshi is especially expressive, with piercing painted eyes, bold black eyebrows, a moustache, beard, and a prominent red long nose. The small black cap on top further emphasizes the traditional Tengu appearance. The body has a tall and elegant wooden form, decorated with a delicate monochrome landscape showing temple architecture and trees of Takao-san.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inscription on the body reads 高尾山薬王院不動堂, referring to the Fudō-dō Hall of Takaosan Yakuōin, an important Buddhist temple complex on Mount Takao. Around the base, the writing 高尾山 clearly marks the piece as a souvenir from this famous mountain destination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an omiyage kokeshi, this piece combines the simple charm of Japanese wooden dolls with the spiritual and folkloric identity of Takao-san. The contrast between the dramatic Tengu face and the quiet temple landscape makes it a very distinctive travel souvenir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 8 x 6 x 23cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"≈25cm","offer_id":57575827865931,"sku":"K25195","price":50.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/temple_252dcc7e-10ee-46ff-98df-e4b2ca02138d.jpg?v=1781431327","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/fr\/products\/k25195-sosaku-kokeshi-by-akugenkyo-yugaku-%e7%99%bd%e7%8e%84%e5%b1%85%e5%b0%a4%e5%b2%b3","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
