Vintage Gumma kokeshi by Sumitani Kohji

This handcrafted Creative (Sosaku) Kokeshi doll by master artisan Sumitani Kohji showcases a charming, serene expression with gentle closed eyes and a subtle smile. Crafted from natural wood, the doll features a dark, gloss-finished bob hairstyle with classic straight-cut bangs that frame her fair face. Her warm, honey-toned wooden body is decorated with carved and hand-painted plum blossoms (ume) in rich shades of red and crisp white, trailing along branch-like lines. The delicate floral motif, paired with subtle kimono collar details, gives this vintage Japanese piece an elegant and peaceful aesthetic perfect for display.
