This charming set consists of seven miniature traditional kokeshi dolls, beautifully handcrafted in wood and hand-painted in classic folk motifs. Despite their small size, each doll has its own distinctive personality and decorative style, making this a delightful and visually harmonious collection. The tallest figure measures approximately 11 cm in height. The dolls display a variety of traditional designs: elegant red floral motifs, stylized chrysanthemum patterns, and iris (shōbu) flowers painted in purple and green. One larger piece features bold black and red horizontal bands with floral decoration, while the slimmer forms reflect classic Tohoku-style proportions with gently flared bases. The faces are expressive yet restrained, with fine brushwork defining the eyes, brows, and hairline—hallmarks of traditional kokeshi craftsmanship. Based on the painting style, wood tone, and aging characteristics, this set is estimated to date from the mid to late Showa period (昭和中期〜後期 / approximately 1950s–1970s, Showa 25–50). During this time, traditional kokeshi from the Tohoku region were widely produced as regional folk art and collectible souvenirs, preserving Edo-period origins while adapting to postwar domestic and international interest. All dolls are hand-turned from solid wood and painted individually. Minor surface wear, small paint fading, and natural patina consistent with age are present, enhancing their authentic vintage appeal. The set forms a cohesive display while also offering individual charm in each figure. This is an excellent opportunity for collectors of Japanese folk art, kokeshi enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a refined miniature display set with historical character.
