AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Here is a superb creative Kokeshi doll (sosaku) carved and hand-engraved from solid wood, made by the renowned artist Gono Seifu (1927-2003).
The kimono dyed in a deep green is adorned with delicate pyrograved and painted botanical motifs, hence its name Budo (the vine).
Overall vintage condition is good with light signs of wear and a natural age crack at the top of the hair area (visible in the photos), adding all its patina to the piece.
Dimensions: H 21.5 x D 10 cm
A rare piece of absolute elegance.
Kokeshi dolls are now genuine collectibles.
Please refer to the photos; they are an integral part of the listing.
Tracked and insured shipping.
