Figurine - Pair of Japanese Kokeshi Dolls (2) - Holz
A charming pair of vintage Japanese Kokeshi dolls (こけし), hand-painted with scenic landscapes depicting Mount Fuji, pine trees, and waterfalls.
These dolls reflect the tourist souvenir style (土産こけし) popular during Japan’s mid-Showa era (circa 1950s–1970s), when craftsmanship and folk art merged into beautiful yet accessible decorative pieces.
Each doll features a distinct face with gentle expression, symbolic of the simplicity and warmth of Tohoku folk art. The body is adorned with detailed mountain scenery, and one figure bears the inscription 「白糸の思い出」 (“Memories of Shiraito”), referring to the famous Shiraito Falls, one of Japan’s most picturesque locations near Mt. Fuji.
These pieces are not only folk toys but also carry strong historical and cultural value, representing Japan’s postwar craftsmanship revival and regional artistry.

Origin: Japan
Period: Mid Showa (c. 1950s–70s)
