Made-to-Order Gogatsu Ningyo “Batman” Samurai Armor Doll Display Figure Statue
*Made-to-order (2-3 months) from purchase
This piece sits at the collision point between two display traditions: the disciplined theatre of samurai armor and the modern mythology of Gotham. Presented in a shrine-style cabinet format associated with Gogatsu ningyo, the figure reads as a ceremonial presence—helmeted, armored, and composed—while the iconography signals a contemporary hero archetype.
Gogatsu ningyo are Japanese May festival displays associated with protection and strength. By translating a pop-culture character into the language of kabuto, menpo, and yoroi silhouette, the maker turns familiar symbolism into a seasonal Japanese display object designed to be placed, witnessed, and remembered. Production is represented as made-to-order with a stated lead time.
