Glass - Japan - Circa 1960s–1970s (Mid to Late Showa Period)

Showa-era Framed Kabuki Doll Shadow Box Wall Art,72,5cm 【Description】 A compelling Japanese vintage wall piece, likely dating to the Showa period, this framed shadow box presents a theatrical doll figure inspired by the dramatic costume and makeup of Kabuki stage tradition. Rich in texture and presence, it combines textile craft, figural artistry, and decorative display in a highly distinctive composition. **Theatrical Character** The doll’s vivid expression, stylised painted face, and striking red hair create an immediate sense of drama, recalling the heightened visual language of Japanese theatre and ceremonial costume. **Layered Textile Work** The costume is arranged in multiple fabric layers with floral and geometric motifs, in tones of red, cream, green, and metallic accents. This gives the piece impressive depth and a sculptural, almost stage-like presence within the frame. **Framed Display Appeal** Presented behind glass in a rectangular shadow box against a softly lustred backing, the composition reads as both preserved object and decorative wall art. It offers strong visual impact while remaining easy to display as a focal piece. **Interior Styling** This is a piece that sits beautifully in Japandi, eclectic, collector-led, or theatre-inspired interiors, where its colour, dimensionality, and cultural character can anchor a room or gallery wall. **Presentation Note** The listing is for the framed shadow box only; any stand, surface, or display setting shown in the photographs is for presentation purposes only and is not included. 【Condition】 Overall good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear visible. The frame shows light surface wear consistent with age and handling, and the interior backing appears gently toned over time. The doll and costume present well, with some natural softness and slight irregularity to the hair arrangement and textile drape, typical of a hand-assembled vintage display piece. No obvious major structural damage is visible in the provided photo. Please review the detailed photos carefully before bidding. 【Period】 Circa 1960s–1970s (Mid to Late Showa Period) Dimensions & Estimated Weight】 Width: approx. 72,5 cm Depth: approx. 5 cm Height: approx. 57 cm
