Sanae Takaichi

Japan had to wait until 2025 to see a woman at the head of its government. Sanae Takaichi was the one who marked this milestone by becoming the country's first female prime minister. Her political career began long before, with decades of parliamentary experience and various responsibilities within the Japanese government. In our Caganer figurine, we have depicted her with her characteristic short hair and a dark suit, an image that reflects her institutional style. This figure adds a prominent figure from Japan's contemporary political history to our collection.
