1966 Japanese Folk Doll Ningyo Vintage Kimono Figure with Original Box Japan

Authentic 1966 Japanese Folk Doll (Ningyo) – Vintage Kimono Figure with Box

This authentic Japanese vintage folk doll (ningyō) dates to 1966 and is a charming example of mid-20th century Japanese decorative craftsmanship. Unlike traditional wooden Kokeshi, this doll is constructed from mixed materials, including fabric, composition, and hand-finished elements.

The figure is dressed in a detailed kimono with carefully arranged textiles, featuring a stylized pose and expressive face typical of Showa-era souvenir and regional craft dolls. The craftsmanship reflects attention to detail in both costume and form, making it a unique collectible piece.

The doll comes with its original storage box (cardboard), which shows handwritten markings and age-related wear, adding to its authenticity and historical character.

Sourced from an official Japanese auction, this piece represents genuine vintage Japanese folk art.
