Dimensions: height 18 cm, diameter 7 cm.

The kokeshi wears a warm red kimono with darker shading and a finely detailed graphic design. The front shows a stylized pattern with fan-like floral forms, white dotted details and an incised lattice motif that recalls woven textile. On top of the hairstyle is a red hair ornament with carved lines, adding a playful yet refined detail to the piece.

The deep red tones, black hairstyle and subtle decorative details give this kokeshi a quiet but strong presence.

A beautiful collector’s piece, but also a stylish small accent on a cabinet, shelf or beside ceramics in a contemporary interior.

The original maker’s sticker label is present on the underside.
