Vintage Sosaku kokeshi by Ikuyoshi Yokuzuka

This is a charming and artistic Sosaku (Creative) Kokeshi, notable for its unique proportions and mid-century modern aesthetic.

Key Features

• Distinctive Silhouette: This doll features a large, elongated oval head that is significantly wider than its body. The body has a unique "nested" appearance, where the upper torso seems to emerge from a wider, chalice-like base.

• Artistic Use of Wood: The head showcases a beautiful contrast in wood tones. The darker grain at the top is used to represent hair, with a scalloped edge that frames the lighter wood of the face, creating a "bob" hairstyle effect.

Height: 15,5cm

Weight: 170g
