Refined doll that exemplifies the traditional kimekomi technique, originating in Kyoto in the early eighteenth century and perfected over subsequent generations. The figure is clothed in sumptuous Japanese silk brocade, its surface enriched with intricate, time-honored motifs that speak to the enduring aesthetic sensibilities of classical Japanese design. The doll’s delicately rendered facial features are hand-painted on a surface of gofun—a luminous, ivory-like substance derived from finely ground oyster shell—imparting a serene and elegant presence.

The term kimekomi, meaning 'to tuck in,' refers to the method by which textiles are fitted into carved grooves on the doll’s body. This body is traditionally formed from a paste of compacted paulownia sawdust and natural glue, shaped and incised to receive the ornamental fabric. The result is a harmonious synthesis of material, craftsmanship, and cultural symbolism.
