This is a beautifully executed and substantial example of the iconic "Hidamari" (Sunny Spot) kokeshi doll, masterfully designed by the renowned and award-winning kokeshi artist Sekiguchi Tōa (born 1942).

This doll immediately stands out with its unique, voluminous and rounded form. The face exhibits a serene, calm expression beneath a sleek and finely carved jet-black hairstyle. Her round body is decorated with a beautiful, deep red kimono.

The doll is located on the underside/side with the original, hand-cut artistic signature of the maker: 東亜 (Tōa).

The object is in good, authentic vintage condition with minimal signs of aging commensurate with its age. The colors are well preserved and the wood carving is fully intact. See the photos for an accurate impression of the condition.
