Exclusive Vintage Gumma Kokeshi By Sansaku Sekiguchi (1925-2018)

This elegant Sansaku Sekiguchi Kokeshi doll is a beautiful example of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Handcrafted from wood, the doll features a tall, cylindrical body with a smooth, natural finish. The design is minimalist yet striking, with delicate, hand-painted details in red, green, and gold adorning her robe in a flowing, geometric pattern. Her serene facial expression, marked by closed eyes and a gentle red mouth, reflects a calm and peaceful aura.

The doll’s distinctive hairstyle, with stylized long hair and a rounded topknot, is a signature element of Sansaku Sekiguchi’s style—one of Japan’s most renowned kokeshi artists. Each carving and brushstroke embodies the quiet elegance and cultural richness of Japanese folk art.

She is titled: 白蓮 Hakuren, that means White Lotus.
