AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A beautiful and characterful pair of vintage Japanese Sosaku (creative) Kokeshi dolls from the mid-20th century (Showa period, approx. the 1950s–1970s). These handcrafted wooden dolls stand 15 cm tall and are in a very nice collectible condition.

This specific duo is distinguished by the charming, pot-shaped bodies hand-painted with a serene, traditional Japanese mountain landscape. The dolls both wear the iconic removable cone-shaped straw hats (kasa) and are elegantly decorated with the original purple and beige braided decorative cords with tassels.

In Japanese culture, kokeshi dolls symbolize luck, friendship, and a long life, which at the time made them a beloved souvenir from the traditional onsen (hot springs) and today a sought-after item for lovers of Asian art and Mid-Century or Japandi interiors.

Condition: Good vintage condition, in line with age and use. The painting is bright and the tassels/hats are fully intact (see photos for an accurate personal impression).

For shipments within the European Union there are no customs duties provided.

The item will be carefully packed and shipped.

Please note that the packaging has been done by a private individual and not by a professional service, so perfect packaging quality cannot be guaranteed. Thank you for your understanding
