Vintage Sosaku kokeshi by Kato Masami

This vintage Japanese creative (Sosaku) kokeshi doll by artisan Kato Masami features a classic rounded, tall silhouette crafted from natural wood. The doll displays a head wrapped in a deep red and pink hood or headscarf with fine geometric line engravings, framing a sweet face with minimal, delicate facial features—slanted sleeping eyes, soft black bangs, and a tiny red mouth. Its elongated dark red/purple body is adorned with intricate carved overlapping circular motifs and fine gold/light-toned outline accents, highlighted by subtle greenish hues that give the piece a sophisticated, artistic character.
