AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This is a Japanese creative Kokeshi doll crafted by award-winning artist **Sekiguchi Toua**, recipient of the **Prime Minister's Award** in Japan. The kimono is adorned with elegant golden patterns reminiscent of *Kimono*, symbolizing the fleeting beauty of life and the transition from summer to autumn. The doll's serene expression reflects a moment of inner stillness, listening to the overwhelming yet ephemeral song of cicadas. The striking contrast of black lacquered body and gold floral motifs embodies both visual elegance and deep emotional resonance. This is a profound, sculptural piece that transcends the traditional notion of Kokeshi dolls.
