May Doll Kintaro Ceramic

In these days when the sense of seasons has faded, I created this piece because I wanted to celebrate seasonal events, whether or not you have children for the festival.
This is Kintaro holding a small sea bream in a small box. The title is May Sunshine.

Because it is fired at 1200 degrees, the unglazed, fired clay will char at the tips of the hands and feet. This is not dirt. It is fired four times: unglazed, glazed, overglaze enamel, and gold enamel.

*The fabric is hand-sewn by myself, so there may be some distortion.

*The wooden box is custom-made by a wood craftsman in Gifu, but it is made of high-quality, soft domestic cedar. Please be careful as it can be scratched even with a slight touch of your fingernail.
Please understand that the wooden box and black lacquered board may have scuffs and scratches.

*It will be wrapped in Japanese paper. If it is for a celebration, we will also include a mizuhiki cord.
