This is a Takasago doll. Takasago dolls are figures modeled after the elderly couple, Jō and Uba, who appear in the Noh play "Takasago." They are displayed during betrothal ceremonies and weddings as a symbol of good fortune, wishing for marital harmony and longevity. Takasago dolls depict Jō holding a rake and Uba holding a broom. The rake symbolizes gathering good fortune, while the broom symbolizes sweeping away misfortune, representing the wish for a happy home built by the couple working together. Furthermore, Takasago dolls are also said to be the spirits of the Aioi no Matsu (paired pine trees), symbolizing the strength of the couple's bond. This is a set of Gosho dolls in traditional costumes, with a charming, handcrafted and elaborate design. - Type of doll: - Color: Multicolor - Materials: Cloth, wood - Features: Traditional costumes, tools in hand - Height: Approximately 20cm - Condition: Good - Design: Traditional Japanese crafts - Theme: Japanese culture There is some minor damage due to the age of the item.
