Statuette, Kokeshi doll - 19.5 cm - Wood

This is a creative kokeshi doll crafted by a Japanese artisan, made of solid wood using hand-carved and painted techniques, manufactured in Japan in the latter half of the 20th century. The doll features a simple yet elegant design, with a natural wood-colored, glossy head adorned with a three-dimensional red bow hair ornament. The face is depicted with minimalist lines, conveying a serene expression. The kimono features a vertical wood grain base, hand-painted with red and white plum blossom patterns. The colors are warm, the details precise, and the proportions harmonious, giving the piece a simple and elegant character. The artisan's seal is clearly engraved on the base of the doll, serving as a key identifier for its origin. The doll shows only minor signs of natural aging, with no cracks, deformation, or other serious defects. These characteristics do not affect the overall aesthetics and are typical of vintage kokeshi dolls. Please refer to the photos for more detailed condition information. Artist: This kokeshi doll was created by a renowned Japanese creative kokeshi doll artisan (the seal on the base is the artisan's exclusive mark). This artisan is known for their simple and elegant designs and delicate floral painting techniques. Their works are highly praised for combining the traditional texture of kokeshi dolls with modern decorative painting. Dimensions and Weight: Height: Approximately 17.5 cm Diameter of the body: Approximately 6.7 cm
