This Vintage Kabuki Doll is a finely carved wooden kimono figure standing 10.2 inches tall and 5.9 inches wide, designed to capture the grace and beauty of traditional Japanese theater. This signed kabuki sculpture offers collectors and enthusiasts a rare handcrafted wooden doll that showcases the delicate art of wood carving. The detailed expression and posture depict a classic moment of tying or unfastening the obi, bringing this vintage kimono figure to life with authenticity and charm.
Crafted entirely from wood, this Japanese wooden doll weighs just 8 ounces (226 grams) and measures approximately 26 cm by 15 cm by 9 cm. The hair accessories, known as kanzashi, combine wood and other materials, enhancing its intricate design. Although one hair ornament is missing upon close inspection, it does not detract from the overall beauty and value of this signed kabuki sculpture. The kanji character 昇 inscribed on the piece indicates it was created by a professor at an art college, adding to its credibility and collectible appeal.
This vintage kabuki doll comes boxed with its signature, making it an ideal kimono doll gift for collectors of Japanese antique dolls or lovers of traditional noh doll artistry. Its condition is very good with minor scratches and signs of aging consistent with an authentic antique.
