The doll features an elegant, multi-tiered design carved from natural wood, consisting of a rounded head, an elongated torso, and a unique spherical base. It is decorated with muted, earthy olive-green and brown tones that accentuate the wood's natural grain. The head is adorned with a painted hood or hairstyle featuring delicate floral and pine needle motifs, framing a serene face with minimalist, slit-like eyes and a calm expression. The main body represents a kimono detailed with subtle, textured nature patterns, which elegantly opens at the bottom to reveal a vibrant peek of a purple undergarment decorated with blue floral accents.
