About the Item
CELESTIAL portrays a very young boy in the style of a Gosho Doll. The inspiration for this piece came from the Gosho dolls made during the Edo Period of Japan (1603-1867), a time when the arts flourished. They were never meant to be played with. Instead, they were placed in a significant area of the home and displayed as a work of art. The dolls were highly prized and given as gifts among members of the court during the Edo Period.
Gosho Dolls were fashioned as very young, chubby boys with round heads, a sweet expression on their faces and an extremely white complexion (made of paste from ground oyster shells in ancient times). This doll, CELESTIAL, is dressed in a garment inspired by the styles of 6th Century China. The elaborate headdress, center front loop buttons, ornate belt, and baggy trousers were typical of the period.
