Lovely vintage creative kokeshi by Norio

we see a beautiful creative (Sosaku) kokeshi doll by master artisan Norio Hasegawa. The wooden doll features a distinctively slender, tapering lower body and a rounded upper form with a smooth, natural finish that showcases the elegant grain of the wood. Her serene countenance is defined by delicately painted closed eyes and a minimalist mouth, framed by long, straight black hair that flows down her shoulders and is adorned with a simple carved flower accessory. The body of the doll is elegantly decorated with hand-painted, stylized floral motifs—resembling plum blossoms or cosmos—with dark petals and soft reddish-orange centers, creating a harmonious and tranquil aesthetic.
