The figure’s concept is “Hatsune” (first sound), which in Japanese culture also refers to the first birdsong of the year, and the doll is designed to capture this sense of grace.

The figure’s main feature is its incredibly detailed kimono.

The fabric is dyed using traditional Yuzen techniques, a painstaking process where 12 different colors were used for the green portions and 11 for the blue, creating a unique and deep color.
