Spice and Wolf Holo -Japanese Doll- 1/4 Scale Figure

“Holo” from “Spice and Wolf” is now a Japanese doll figure from Frew’s high quality hobby brand “F:NEX”.

The face is the life of both figures and Japanese dolls
The image of her holding wheat and smiling gives off a sense of elegance and beauty. The impressive tail, wind-swept hair, and colorful flower decorations have all been carefully crafted down to the finest details.

Costume prototype created by festival doll craftsman “Heian Juho”
The costume prototype was created by festival doll craftsman “Heian Juho”. In addition to matching the flowing shape of the tail, we incorporated Japanese dance movements into the hem rotation to create a beautiful kimono style that matches the slender and tall figure. The figure, which looks as if it were captured in a moment of supple dancing, conveys Holo’s light movements, easy-going demeanor, and innate elegance.

◇Fusion of “worldview” and “traditional Japanese”
The fabric for the long-sleeved kimono is dyed using the “Kata Yuzen” method.
Based on a pattern depicting various motifs of spring, summer, fall, and winter, befitting the wise wolf who governs fertility, the fabric is dyed with “purple”, which has been considered a noble color since ancient times, to create a calm yet vibrant furisode fabric. Tailored.
The fabric is dyed at the Yuzen factory in Kyoto by Nishimura Shoji Shoten, a long-established textile merchant in Kyoto. This time, we used 10 editions of the fabric, and it was painstakingly dyed by hand to create a deep color that cannot be expressed by a machine.

The obi part is made of gold brocade manufactured by Bando Shoten, a representative textile merchant in Kyoto. Various floral patterns are woven into the white base, and a refreshing lime green color is added to add color to the calm long-sleeved kimono.
