【Important notes】 ・International Buyers: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges.

Prompt payment of these fees is necessary to ensure delivery of your item. 【Product details】 This handcrafted Heisei era doll, evoking the grandeur of Emperor Jimmu, is a splendid representation of Japan's first emperor and a stellar example of traditional craftsmanship. The doll is adorned in a resplendent costume and full regalia, including the ancient "mimizura" hairstyle—a traditional male hairstyle where hair is parted in the center and tied into loops at the sides—and holds an azusa bow and a couple of arrows, indicating readiness for battle. Embellishing his neck is a magatama necklace, an emblem of spiritual power and a symbol deeply rooted in Japanese mythology, often associated with nobility and sacredness. This curved, comma-shaped bead has been an integral part of royal and religious artifacts, representing both continuity and the human spirit in Shinto tradition. A golden Yatagarasu, the mythical three-legged crow, alights upon his bow, a divine guide believed to lead individuals towards a righteous path. The stand has a couple of noticeable marks at the back, but the doll itself remains in excellent condition, details of which can be closely examined in the accompanying photographs.
