Vintage Sosaku kokeshi by Isamu Yamakawa

This kokeshi doll by Isamu Yamakawa features a large, rounded head with delicately painted, closed eyes and a tiny red mouth, giving it a serene and contemplative expression. The dark wooden hair is simply carved and shaped into rounded side buns, adding a charming, sculptural quality. The compact body is finished in a deep red tone and decorated with elegant butterfly motifs, creating a warm contrast with the natural wood of the head. The overall design combines softness and simplicity with refined decorative detail, characteristic of Yamakawa’s gentle and expressive style.
