Description :

Two vintage Japanese Kokeshi dolls, beautifully hand-carved and hand-painted. These traditional wooden dolls showcase intricate craftsmanship and distinct designs.

  • Tall Kokeshi Doll: This piece has a natural, rustic appeal, with a partially bark-covered base and a delicate, hand-painted face. The body features artistic brushwork and inscriptions.
  • Shorter Kokeshi Doll: A charmingly aged piece with a distinct expression, it has an elegant painted floral motif and calligraphy on the body.

Both dolls show signs of wear consistent with age, adding to their vintage charm. A red maker’s stamp is visible on the base of one doll, indicating its authenticity.

-18" and 12" Tall

One is signed. These are considered partially carved which makes them more rare.
