This Showa-era Japanese violin music box doll is brand new and unused, preserved like a time capsule straight from mid-20th century Japan. Despite decades in storage, it’s still in lovely condition and works perfectly. Wind it up, and it plays When Irish Eyes Are Smiling. The doll’s head gently turns in rhythm while the violin bow moves in his right hand, giving the illusion of a tiny retro violin recital in progress. It’s equal parts whimsical and nostalgic-the kind of charm only Showa Japan could dream up. Measures approximately 17 cm tall (from the top of the head). Please allow for small measurement discrepancies, but the important part is: he works, he plays, and he looks adorable doing it.
