Moth
Vintage Japanese Wooden Doll in Bath
Details
This whimsical vintage Japanese folk sculpture depicts a smiling bather relaxing in a wooden bath, complete with a wash bucket, towel, and traditional wooden bath clogs (geta). Handcrafted from wood and hand painted with charming details, it captures the playful spirit of Japan's beloved hot spring (onsen) culture.
The front bears the phrase "Ii yu da ne" (いい湯だね), meaning "What a nice hot bath!" while the figure's cheerful expression adds to its lighthearted appeal. A delightful decorative piece for collectors of Japanese folk art and vintage curiosities.
