Vintage Sosaku kokeshi by Sanpei Yamakawa (1926-2012)

This creative Sosaku Kokeshi doll by master artisan Sanpei Yamanaka features a tall, slender body crafted from natural wood with a prominent, warm grain. The torso is elegantly decorated with broad hand-painted bands of rich red and dark green or charcoal, accented by delicate small white floral motifs scattered across the surface. Its round head displays a gentle, tranquil facial expression with simple closed eyes, a subtle mouth, and short dark hair tied with small hair accessories on each side, capturing Yamanaka's signature serene and minimalist design aesthetic.
