With a beautiful mix of modern and traditional, the iconic vocaloid Hatsune Miku takes on an all-new design, this time in a breathtakingly elegant kimono and an incredibly artsy stance in her Hatsune Miku: Beauty Looking Back 1/7th scale figure!
This breathtaking iteration of Miku radiates elegance and grace, with absolutely stunning and mesmerizing care put into the paint and sculpting of both the figure, her outfit, and the dynamic sculpting. Her bright red kimono captures the elegance of traditional Japanese fashion, with every small flower meticulously detailed and painted individually to stand out instantly.
Miku's iconic hairstyle is also sculpted to match the atmosphere and artsy feel of the figure, flowing outward with individual strands visible while being tied into bows and knots at the ends, in addition to the small accessories and clips tying and decorating her hair elsewhere. Her layered kimono also adds to the depth, with a crisp white layer of cloth underneath and folds carefully sculpted to create the illusion of a careful flow.
Different paints are used throughout the figure to create the appearance of different fabrics, materials, and designs, such as metallic and reflective flowers, soft matte fabric, glossy hair, and soft, pale skin. Her bright mint-green hair also matches her careful and curious eyes perfectly, with an expression that encapsulates her gaze as she glances over her shoulder.
This Miku design is based on illustrator Rella's adaptation of Miku in a crimson furisode and with a traditional fukimaegami hairstyle, based on the painting "Beauty Looking Back" by Moronobu Hishikawa, mixing the worlds of both modern characters and mediums with traditional art and grace. In addition, portions of the sales originating from this figure will go to the National Center for the Promotion of Cultural Properties to be used for restoration projects, adding another dimension to the respect and admiration for culture and the arts.
