Elegant, symbolic, and exquisitely detailed, the Lladró Hina Dolls – Emperor Sculpture is a refined High Porcelain creation inspired by one of Japan’s most cherished ceremonial traditions. Produced in a strictly limited edition of 1,000 pieces worldwide, this exceptional work is designed to become a treasured family heirloom.
Sculpted by acclaimed artist Alfredo Llorens, the Emperor represents one of the principal figures of Hina Ningyō, the traditional doll display presented during Hina Matsuri on March 3rd. This annual celebration is dedicated to wishing young girls happiness, health, and prosperity. Traditionally arranged on a tiered platform, the Emperor forms a harmonious pair with the Hina Dolls – Empress, together symbolizing balance, dignity, and imperial refinement.
Crafted in gloss-finish porcelain and enriched with metallic lustre, the sculpture showcases extraordinary attention to detail. The Emperor’s ceremonial attire faithfully reflects garments worn by the Japanese imperial court during the Heian period, with intricate decorative motifs inspired by embroidered textiles and traditional Japanese fabrics that evoke Damascus silk. The piece features a richer, more intense color palette than classic Lladró works, with deep tones and multi-layered decorative details meticulously applied by hand to achieve remarkable depth and contrast.
The sculpture is presented with a fabric pillow and tassels of golden thread, enhancing its ceremonial authenticity and visual elegance.
