Japanese Ichimatsu Ningyo Doll Vtg Pink Silk Kimono Glass Eyes Gofun Face ID698
Vintage Japanese Ichimatsu Ningyo Doll
This is an authentic vintage Japanese Ichimatsu doll or Ningyo. It is large and dressed in an adorable pink kimono with a traditional kanako (spots on back of fawn). The head/face is finished with gofun and has youthful brown glass eyes. The hands and feet are crafted from the same material and the nails are painted. The body is one solid piece of hard styrofoam to keep it lightweight. The hair is dense and cut thick. She has a removable wooden peg stand painted black and small decorative accessories tucked into the front of the kimono.
Japanese ningyo traditionally represent children and were made both as toys and decorative objects, often reflecting the craftsmanship and cultural aesthetics of their time. Ichimatsu ningyo in particular were traditionall crafted to resemble kabuki actors, however, in their popularity, they expanded to decorative display dolls often displayed annually during Hinamatsuri (Girls' Day on March 3rd).
