This kokeshi is based on a registered design and is particularly known as a "good luck kokeshi." A product of Koson Kogei. It features a rounded head and body, and the image shows a smiling expression. The hair and facial expression are hand-painted. The base (or bottom) is clearly engraved with "Design Registration No. 711764," indicating that this design is a unique and legally protected design. As the name "good luck kokeshi" suggests, this figurine was created as a lucky charm, warding off evil, and bringing good fortune. It appears to have been primarily sold as a traditional craft and folk art from the retro Showa era. It is popular as interior decoration for Japanese-style rooms, entrance decorations, souvenirs, and collector's items. 17*11*11cm Total 785g (F1831)
