This charming kokeshi is a true “modern classic”: an elegant girl figure with a large, rounded head and delicately painted eyes and mouth.
Dimensions: 17.5 cm tall, 9 cm diameter.
Beautifully finished in turned wood, she features deep black hair with two side buns and a small red bow on top, paired with a bright red kimono design decorated with white blossoms and crisp graphic accents in black, golden yellow, and green.
Made by Hosaka Torao (保坂虎男), the base is stamped with the maker’s mark. She is also preserved in her original cardboard box. Condition is very good, with a fresh look and a lovely, even sheen.
Translation of the text on the original box:
Modern masterpiece kokeshi = “Modern masterpiece kokeshi”
Award-winning maker (All-Japan Kokeshi Contest) = “Award-winning maker (All-Japan Kokeshi Contest)”
Made by Hosaka Torao = “Made by Hosaka Torao”
