- Manufacturer: Marmit (Medicom Toy Exclusive) Size: approx. 240 mm in height
This great new addition to Marmit’s lineup of historical vinyl figures, the Shakoki-dogu replicates the ancient relics of the Jomon people (the ancient, indigenous people of Japan). The origin and exact purpose of these figures remains unknown, though it is assumed that they acted as effigies of real people and were imbued with some kind of benign magic. The Shakoki-dogu are a specific kind of this type of “Dogu” relic. Shakoki literally means “light blocking” and the name is thought to come from the strange shape of the figure’s eyes which resemble Inuit-style snow goggles. Another feature of these fascinating artifacts is the intricate carvings which decorate the belly of the figure and are thought to have been painted with vermilion. Although these “Dogu” are relatively common historical finds, it is rare to find one that is entirely unbroken. In fact, one theory is that parts may have been broken off for ritual purposes. This reproduction from Marmit is, however, fully intact and faithfully reproduces this fascinating historical find in all its intricacies. Aside from being an extremely cool looking figure, this ancient relic will certainly lend your collection a bit of educational value!
