What sets this particular doll apart is its tribute to the Sakuma Dam (佐久間ダム) — a hydroelectric dam located in Shizuoka Prefecture, though featured here as part of the kokeshi’s painted landscape, possibly symbolizing admiration for Japan's engineering marvels and scenic dam locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cylindrical body is adorned with a charming hand-painted landscape, depicting the dam’s iconic curved structure with cascading water, surrounded by seasonal greenery and birds in flight, evoking a peaceful, natural scene. The doll’s head features a traditional hairstyle and headband, with a stylized red-and-white motif resembling a fan or leaf, adding a festive flair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNaruko kokeshi are known for their slightly flared bodies, round heads, and squeaky joints, though omiyage versions like this one often diverge into more playful, commemorative forms. This piece reflects both regional identity and cultural pride, blending natural scenery with folk craftsmanship in a form that's both collectible and nostalgic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 5 x 5 x 11cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"≈10cm","offer_id":56170190078283,"sku":"K10172","price":16.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/temple_8df13c3d-f25d-40d0-a2aa-7a3a88c54e93.jpg?v=1766485344","url":"https:\/\/fr.maisonkyo.be\/products\/k10172-omiyage-kokeshi-from-sakuma-dam-%e4%bd%90%e4%b9%85%e9%96%93%e3%83%80%e3%83%a0","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
