Original Traditional Japanese Wooden Kokeshi Doll – X Large

Kokeshis are a Japanese symbol of good luck and good fortune. Traditionally crafted in wood, these dolls have an over-sized head and simplified, cylindrical bodies. They are hand-painted, most commonly in striking reds, blacks and greens, and signed by the artist underneath, each one unique and different to the next. With expressions ranging from sweet to bemused to happy to enigmatic, they are tactile, sculptural objects and we particularly love the elegant curved body of this large one. Set them out individually or cluster several together for a bigger impact.

Description

This authentic, wooden kokeshi is ‘sold as seen’. It is in good – very good, used condition. It has been gently cleaned and polished with a natural beeswax, otherwise it is sold in its original condition so there are minor marks and scuffs, and a little sunlight fading. Due care should be taken when maintaining your kokeshi – the paint can smear if a wet cloth is used.
