The
previously announced "Maiko" figure from
2PetalRose is finally here! Named after the Japanese term for an apprentice geisha in western Japan, especially Kyoto, "Maiko" (舞妓) is garbed in a traditional samurai helmet with banner waving behind her… Reminiscent of the Chinese tale of Hua Mulan, popularized by the Disney film
Mulan, this figure is almost feminist in appeal, showing a very traditional looking woman taking up a non-traditional & even gender breaking attire. Limited to only 5 pieces in this color worldwide, these handcrafted & hand-painted resin figures stand roughly 12-inches tall and each sculpture is accompanied by a hand-stitched helmet, a sword accessory, and a wood banner with reversible print flag. Available for pre-order today (Sunday, July 27th) at 3PM Pacific time in
2PetalRose's online shop for £150 (approx. $255) apiece. Expected to ship by September 1st, 2014.
