The dolls feature a rounded, acorn-shaped body and are carefully handmade from natural wood, allowing the warm wood grain to show through beautifully.

Dimensions of the larger doll: height 9 cm, diameter 5.5 cm.
The smaller doll is slightly more compact in size.

Each doll has a simple, endearing face with large black eyes and a delicate red mouth. On top of their heads is a painted leaf motif, topped with a small string resembling a stem — as if they are little fruits ready to be picked.

One of the two bears the maker’s stamp on the underside — a lovely detail for collectors.

Both dolls are in beautiful vintage condition, showing slight signs of age that only add to their charm.

An adorable duo with a playful character — perfect as decoration or a special gift for lovers of Japanese folk art. See less
