Vintage omiyage Japanese folk art figure, traditionally gifted as a keepsake. The doll represents a traditionally dressed Japanese woman, it stands on a miniature wooden onsen (hot spring) basket, a detail that hints at leisure or travel, common themes in Japanese gift-giving culture.
The doll is adorned in a dark indigo kimono with a subtle star pattern, reflecting a modest and classic aesthetic. The kimono is tied with a simple obi (belt), and a small decorative cloth pouch featuring a festival motif is attached to the front, representing a traditional item carried during a matsuri (festival). The doll wears a cloth headscarf (tenugui), often associated with traditional Japanese workwear or festival attire.
The doll holds a pair of hyōshigi—wooden clappers traditionally used in Japanese festivals or street performances, particularly by fire watchmen or performers. The hyōshigi are tied with a red-and-white cord, a color pairing symbolizing celebration and good fortune. Size:
