This figurine depicts a traditional Japanese artisan, possibly a woodworker or a craftsman, kneeling and holding a mallet over a tree stump with a bundle of straw. The figure is crafted with realistic detail, featuring a smiling expression, traditional clothing, and delicate hand-painted features. The craftsmanship and style suggest it may be a Hakata doll, which originated in Fukuoka, Japan, and are known for their unglazed porcelain and lifelike representation of everyday Japanese life.
Dimensions: H: 6 inches x W: 3 inches x L: 4 inches
