Vintage Gumma kokeshi by Kazuo Takamizawa (1927-)

This creative Gunma Kokeshi doll by master artisan Kazuo Takamizawa, features a charming and intricate design. The doll showcases a beautifully detailed bob hairstyle carved in solid black with a traditional red-and-black patterned topknot ornament. Her wooden face is finely rendered with serene, narrow closed eyes and a small, subtle smile. The cylindrical body is adorned with highly detailed pyrography and hand-painted patterns, displaying a patchwork of traditional Japanese kimono motifs including geometric asanoha (hemp leaf) patterns, florals, and crosshatched lattices in earthy tones of orange, green, and cream.
