Thank you for viewing. ☆ Size (both figures) Height: Approximately 16cm Width: Approximately 7.5cm ※ Set of 2 These are Nipoppo dolls, which in the language of the Sakhalin Ainu people means "small wooden child." They are believed to protect against accidents and grant wishes. They are gods made from the square timber of the Japanese pagoda tree (Enju) and are in the shape of a man and a woman. They are also the prototype for Abashiri Kokeshi dolls. The blue around the woman's mouth is because of the custom of tattooing a mustache as a sign of marriage. The kimono patterns are thought to be based on designs of thorn patterns to ward off evil. The one with the white mustache and the vividly colored one are rare. I found them at an antique shop and have displayed them for about 2 years. I remember they were expensive. ● Please note that there may be oversight of dirt, etc., as they are items stored at home.
