Vintage Sosaku kokeshi by Akira

Bring a touch of authentic Japanese serenity and mid-century design into your home with this beautiful vintage Creative Kokeshi (Sōsaku Kokeshi). Unlike traditional Kokeshi dolls that strictly follow centuries-old regional rules, the 'Creative' movement—which flourished in post-war Japan—celebrates artistic freedom, whimsical shapes, and unique expressions. Unique Mid-Century Aesthetics This handcrafted piece instantly charms with its delightful details. Featuring adorable wooden hair buns on either side of her head, a sweet facial expression, and a beautifully hand-painted red kimono (complete with a traditional obi sash and geometric floral patterns), she makes a striking statement piece. Whether your style is minimalist, Scandinavian, or Japandi, this doll effortlessly injects warmth and character into any space. Authentic Artisan Craftsmanship This is not a mass-produced item, but a genuine collector's piece of Japanese folk art. The bottom of the doll features the original black-ink signature 晃作 (Kō-saku / Akira-saku), meaning "Made by Akira", alongside his official red artist seal (Hanko). Hand-turned on a lathe from premium Japanese wood and painted by hand, this doll carries the unique soul of its maker. Height: 21,5cm Weight: 380g Please look carefully at the pictures to determine the condition of the item. She as a few dents.
