Item Description A charming pair of handcrafted creative Kokeshi dolls by the rare and respected artist **Tsuneyuki**, each bearing the artist’s stamp on the base. Tsuneyuki is recognized in the kokeshi community and is a recipient of the **Director‑General of the Forestry Agency Award (林野庁長官賞)**—an accolade that underscores his excellence in woodcraft and traditional skills. Doll A (with red bow) presents a graceful, slightly shy expression with long lashes and a decorative red bow atop her head. Her kimono is rendered in warm tones with hand‑burned swirl motifs and a multicolored geometric obi accented with foil. Doll B (blue kimono) displays a gentle, smiling face and a cobalt‑blue lacquered body decorated with floral motifs. Both pieces show careful hand‑painting and turned‑wood shaping typical of Tsuneyuki’s gentle, characterful style. Condition These are vintage items and exhibit expected signs of age: small paint chips, light surface scratches, and areas of wear to the lacquer and painted decorations (see photos). Both dolls remain structurally sound and retain strong visual appeal and collectible value. Bases are stamped with the artist’s seal, confirming provenance. Artist **Tsuneyuki (恒之)** — a creative kokeshi artist noted for tender facial expressions and distinctive decorative choices — has been honored with major awards, including the Director‑General of the Forestry Agency Award, reflecting his skillful use of wood and traditional finishing techniques. His works are produced in limited quantities and are scarce in the Japanese vintage market, making them particularly desirable to collectors.
