Likely from the mid-20th century or earlier, each miniature figure showcases unique craftsmanship and symbolic meaning rooted in Japanese culture.

The set includes an eclectic mix of characters and motifs — from kitsune (fox spirits, often associated with the deity Inari), to small child-like figures, and gourd-shaped charms (symbols of protection and longevity). Each piece carries its own visual personality, with traces of hand-painted details and soft patina from age.

Whether displayed as a whimsical vignette, used as conversation-starting decor, or added to a folk art collection, this rare set evokes nostalgia, spirituality, and the playful spirit of Japanese craft traditions. See less
