(JP¥100,000)
This is "Hikari" (Light), a creation by doll artist Chizuko Inabe. My predecessor purchased it in 2013 (Heisei 25) and displayed it in a tokonoma (alcove) away from direct sunlight, so it is in good condition. While I'd like to say it's as good as new, an entire zodiac cycle has passed since its purchase, so I'm cautiously listing it as "no noticeable scratches or stains." It was distributed by I.E.I Imperial Art Gallery. It came with a glass case and cost over 210,000 yen. "Hikari," which was presented to Pope Benedict XVI in 2011, was recreated under the supervision of the artist, Chizuko Inabe, using materials equivalent to the original, and faithfully reproduced by skilled craftsmen. Only 20 were sold. A two-fold printed explanation and certificate were included. Please refer to the images for details. Gazing at it, I feel like a pure, lovely, and beautiful young girl before school age, with an exquisite expression, round eyes, a fair complexion, looking slightly upwards, lightly holding her hands in front of her chest, surrendering herself to the light of hope from heaven, and filled with pure wishes (just my personal impression). It clearly distinguishes itself from the traditional "Ichimatsu dolls," expressing the inner self in detail, demonstrating an overwhelming presence, and possessing a rare masterpiece that is dignified, noble, and mysterious (just my personal opinion). It's a fairly large doll. Using a measuring tape, the total height is approximately 38cm, and the head size is about 8.5cm x 6.5cm. The glass case dimensions are: Width 36cm, Depth 26.5cm, Height 49cm. It opens on the left side of the front, but there is no handle. I searched for Chizuko Inabe online, but there were almost no works for sale, so there was nothing to refer to, making this doll seem rare. It is a very delicate doll, and it is also in a glass case. Unfortunately, the original cardboard box is nowhere to be found, so I will prepare another case and carefully pack it for delivery. As I am currently decluttering, I would be delighted if you would take over this masterpiece, "Hikari," and cherish it for a long time to come.
