A Japanese interior doll. The doll’s face is crafted using the traditional gofun technique-a classic Japanese coating made from crushed oyster shells, creating a perfectly matte, porcelain-white surface. Gofun gives the face a special depth, a soft glow, and a sense of living silence, characteristic of antique Japanese dolls. The image and multi-layered kimono with rich colors and long lines evoke the aesthetics of the Heian period-a time of refined beauty, courtly poetry, and silence. For other countries, around 7 to 12 days. International Buyers- Please Note.
