Vintage Sosaku kokeshi by Ishimura

This exquisite creative (sōsaku) kokeshi doll by artist Ishimura Sōgen, titled "Jurokuya", is meticulously crafted from wood and presented on a black display stand alongside its original wooden name tag and cardboard storage box. The doll features a sleek, rounded black bob haircut with straight bangs framing a serene, minimalist face with delicate, stylized facial features. Its body is shaped with a smooth, curvaceous silhouette adorned in a sophisticated kimono design that transitions from a shimmering golden-yellow gradient speckled with white details at the top to a deep, starry black base at the bottom. The kimono is embellished with charming carved floral motifs resembling cherry blossoms or plum blossoms, and features a layered collar and sash in striking tones of orange, teal, and blue. The accompanying wooden plaque and box label elegantly display the title and the artist's signature seal in traditional calligraphy, completing a refined work of traditional Japanese folk art.
