Rare Vintage 1950s Japanese Shingata 3 Nesting Kokeshi Bobblehead Set

Capture a rare piece of mid-century Japanese folk art with this 1950s Shingata Kokeshi nesting set. This "New Model" (Shingata) set is an exceptional artisan crossover, combining the traditional Kokeshi aesthetic with Russian-style nesting logic and a charming nodding feature on the largest doll. Each of the three dolls is hand-painted with vibrant blue and green floral kimonos, showcasing the creative freedom of the post-war Shingata movement.

This item is in vintage pre-owned condition clean and intact with gentle wear. The hand-painted finish remains vibrant, showing only light, age-appropriate thinning specifically along the nesting seam of the largest doll. The nodding mechanism is fully functional and the wood is well-preserved. It measures 4.75 inches, 2.75 inches, and 2 inches.
