Vintage Gumma kokeshi by Fujikawa Masae

This creative kokeshi doll by award-winning artisan Fujikawa Masae (藤川正衛) is titled "Shunko" (春光), which translates to "Spring Light" or "Spring Sunshine".
The doll features a gently rounded, egg-shaped body adorned with a rich, multi-toned palette and intricate hand-carved textures. Her detailed kimono showcases traditional Japanese motifs, including delicate blooming plum blossoms (ume) set against dark cloudy medallions, golden woven pattern overlays, and soft red accents. She is topped with a smooth, black bob hairstyle framing a serene face with closed eyes and blushing cheeks. Complete with its original wooden placard (tatefuda) and boxed presentation noting the artist's competition awards (Kokeshi Concours), this piece stands as a beautifully artistic celebration of spring.
