The moment your eyes meet hers, you feel a sense of nostalgia and tenderness in her expression. “Momoko First Bloom ST Ver.” is the first original character designed by Houkisei-sensei. You will involuntarily gaze at her due to her completeness and presence, which are unbelievable for a debut work. Particularly striking are her pale, gentle, milk tea-colored hair and the appearance of wearing transparent, cloth-like material. Her presence has a beauty that captures a fleeting moment. The delicate direction, which even conveys a sense of atmosphere despite the 1/6 scale, is captivating.

The sculpted beauty of this figure possesses a mesmerizing persuasiveness. The smooth lines and natural posing by sculptor Kanataka look as if they captured the very moment she was swaying in the breeze. Every single strand of hair is meticulously carved, tempting you to touch its soft flow with your fingertips. The body's form has an effortless realism, combining beauty and elegance, and is a work that captivates through “modesty” rather than flashiness.

This work extensively uses clear resin to express a transparency that seems to envelop light. The material's characteristics are utilized in the texture of the clothing and the expression of the hair, allowing her to show various looks depending on how the light hits her. Her figure, illuminated by natural light streaming into a quiet room, is so fantastical that you might forget the passage of time. As an “art piece” that transcends the boundaries of a simple figure, the joy of displaying her is greatly enhanced.

The package also includes a charming postcard, allowing you to feel the character's worldview more deeply. Every time you look at her, you might imagine her small story. Her presence is like a flower you suddenly notice in a quiet landscape that suggests the change of seasons. Although she cannot be cast-off, the dedication to the “beauty” of the finished sculpt can be fully appreciated. It is precisely because every element is carefully harmonized that she remains memorable to the viewer.
