This is a sophisticated example of a vintage Sosaku (creative) Kokeshi doll, standing at an impressive 9.5 inches tall. Unlike traditional Kokeshi, this piece is a quintessential design of a piece of 1970s retro tech-era art, focusing on the natural beauty of the wood grain and artistic expression. The doll features a deeply polished dark lacquer head with a classic bob-style haircut and a meticulously hand-carved floral kimono depicting red Camellia (Tsubaki) blossoms.

The piece is hand-carved and painted, showing the skill of the artist with delicate facial features and a floral accent in the hair. The base includes an original artist stamp and signature, marking it as a collectible piece of Japanese folk art. This is a pre-owned vintage item in vintage condition. Please note there is a minor surface line or scrape on the top of the lacquered head, which is visible in the photos. Aside from this character mark, the doll remains a beautiful mid-century modern decor piece or a standout addition to any Kokeshi collection. Preowned vintage condition.
