Antique Takeda ningyo (doll) posing as an actor on stage from the Edo period. This type of doll in action with a dramatic facial expression and posture made the Takeda doll famous. The hair is raised as a part of the head indicating the doll was made earlier. The bottom of his haori jacket is extremely wide and has a wire placed inside along the edge to look as if the jacket's movement is flapping. There are damages on the textile and a hand. The large stain on his chest is actually the remains of glue, which may have been used to hold the jacket in it's place. The hat is old but it is a later addition. Late Edo period. Dimensions: 13" tall from the bottom of the stand to hat. The stand is 8 1/4" x 6 1/4" x 2 1/4". |
