9 different style vintage traditional japanese kokeshi dolls - Wood - multiple artists - Japan - Shōwa period (1926-1989)
Vintage Kokeshi dolls which are estimated to have been created between the 1950s and 1970s.
Wood is carefully selected to have the right qualities, the round base-shape is made with a lathe before hand-tools are used to create the finished doll-shape. Lastly the doll is painted with pigments and waxed. Because of this no two dolls are alike.
Kokeshi dolls have become an icon of Japan since they reflect Japanese aesthetic sensibilities with their simple, minimalist yet elegant design.
The largest doll is 39.5cm tall.
The other dolls are between 30 cm and 15 cm high.
They are in great shape, especially if you take their age into account.
