Original Traditional Japanese Wooden Kokeshi Doll – Small #1

Kokeshis are a Japanese symbol of good luck and good fortune. Traditionally crafted in wood, these beautiful dolls have an over-sized head and simple 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 alluring, sculptural objects. The large red, lotus flowers on the body of this lady are especially vivid and bright.
