This is a work by Nishiyama Yoichi, a traditional craftsman in Dazaifu, Fukuoka Prefecture, who creates a wide range of dolls, from classical ones such as those used in Kabuki and Noh to more modern ones.
The motif is the apple, which is spoken of as a symbol of happiness in myths and stories from around the world.
The "Apple of Happiness" is a realistic design that makes you want to eat it, and is part of the "Grateful Fruit" series, which expresses gratitude for familiar fruits.
The design features a phoenix, which is believed to bring good fortune, and also incorporates modern lucky motifs such as four-leaf clovers, rainbows, and shooting stars. These designs are filled with wishes for hope and happiness.
Nishiyama Yoichi aims to surprise and move people, and his works pursue new forms of expression while inheriting the techniques of traditional Hakata dolls.
The "Apple of Happiness" is one example.
Nishiyama himself created the realistic design and meticulous coloring with attention to detail.
This is a masterpiece that will bring color and happiness to your everyday life.
