This kokeshi doll by Yuji Kawase features a smooth, cylindrical body and a rounded head crafted from warm-toned wood.

The body is decorated with simple yet elegant geometric butterfly motifs in soft colors, complemented by small dotted accents. Its understated design and natural wood grain highlight the refined craftsmanship and quiet charm characteristic of modern kokeshi art.
