Traditional Black & Red Japanese Wooden Kokeshi Doll

What’s the story?
Kokeshis are a Japanese symbol of good luck and good fortune. Traditionally crafted in cherry wood, these dolls are characterised by their over-sized head and simple, cylindrical bodies. They are hand-painted, most commonly in striking reds, blacks and greens, and signed by the artist underneath, each one unique and different to the next. With expressions ranging from sweet to bemused to happy to enigmatic, they are tactile, sculptural objects. This one comes decorated with grasses and floral motifs on her body and red bows in her black hair. Display individually or cluster several together for a bigger, colourful impact.

Description

‘Sold as seen’ in good – very good, used condition. It has been checked and lightly cleaned but otherwise it is sold in its original condition so there are minor marks and scuffs, and a little sunlight fading. Due care should be taken when maintaining your kokeshi – the paint can smear if a wet cloth is used.
