Traditionally displayed during the Boy’s Festival (Tango no Sekku) on 5 May, such figures are symbols of strength and protection, reflecting the samurai spirit and the wish for a boy’s healthy growth and courage. The figure is dressed in a splendid brocade robe featuring rich brown, black, and orange tones woven with gold threads. The textile displays large peony and arabesque motifs, symbolising prosperity and resilience. The expressive face, with a stern gaze and a full black beard, conveys Shoki’s commanding presence, while the gold hat and sword complete his majestic appearance. The doll stands on a wooden base finished with black lacquer, enhancing its refined presentation. There are minor blemishes, including a slight stain on the belt, a few tiny holes in the mesh decoration on the hat, and small paint loss on the fingers, but overall it remains in good used condition. Please refer to the photos for details. Dimensions: approx.
