Description from the seller

This is a creative Kokeshi doll crafted by a Japanese artisan, hand-carved and painted from solid wood, made in Japan in the latter half of the 20th century. It features a round, full form, a serene and peaceful face, a red polka-dot bow on its head, and a simple, dark brown lacquered hairstyle. The kimono is adorned with delicate yellow floral patterns, all hand-painted with precise details and harmonious proportions, giving the piece a simple yet elegant quality.
The artisan's seal is clearly stamped on the base of the doll, serving as a key identifier for its origin. The doll shows minor signs of use and small scuffs, but no cracks, deformation, or serious damage. 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.
