An exquisite Ichimatsu Doll (市松人形) crafted by the renowned dollmaker Yoshitoku Daiko (吉徳大光), one of Japan’s oldest and most prestigious traditional doll houses established in Edo (Tokyo) in 1711.
This piece, titled “Yuzen Chrysanthemums and Butterflies”, features a charming girl doll dressed in an elegant black kimono adorned with soft pink and gold chrysanthemum motifs, symbolizing longevity and beauty. The obi (sash) is woven in gold brocade, complemented by a red obi-jime and tassels, creating a delicate yet noble harmony.
Her face, finished with refined go-fun lacquer, expresses the serene innocence characteristic of Ichimatsu dolls. The craftsmanship showcases meticulous detail in hair arrangement, costume tailoring, and facial expression, reflecting the enduring artistry of Yoshitoku’s legacy.
Encased in a custom black lacquer glass display case, this doll is not only a symbol of Japanese grace but also an exceptional collectible for art connoisseurs worldwide.
