Pair of Hand Painted Wooden Kokeshi Dolls, circa 1940

About the Item

Pair of Hand Painted Wooden Kokeshi Dolls, circa 1940 Origin: Northern Japan, circa 1940 Style: Japanese Kokeshi Dolls Material: Wood Experience the enchanting artistry of Japanese tradition with this vintage pair of hand-painted wooden Kokeshi dolls, dating back to circa 1940. Hailing from the early 20th century, these Japanese dolls embody the simplicity and elegance of Kokeshi craftsmanship, originating from northern Japan. Handcrafted by Japanese artisans from wood, each doll features a characteristic simple trunk body and an enlarged head, lacking arms and legs, as typical of Kokeshi dolls. Measuring 30.5 x 7.5 cm and 37 x 10 cm respectively, this set of two dolls exudes a timeless charm and cultural significance. Painted by hand with delicate lines defining the face and adorned with floral motifs on the body, each doll is covered with a protective layer of wax. The bottom or back of each doll bears the signature of the artist, adding to their authenticity and provenance. In good original condition, these Kokeshi dolls exhibit minor wear consistent with age and use, which only enhances their beauty, preserving a captivating patina that speaks to their history. With a provenance tracing back to the wood carvers of Shinchi Shuraku during the mid-Edo period, these dolls hold a cherished place in Japanese cultural heritage and craftsmanship.
