One of a kind collectibles like this are rarely found in Japan and seldom come onto the international market in this massive size. Mint condition. This is a unique tall masterpiece of this art form. Dimensions: 44 inches tall and 7 inches diameter. Provenance: From a private Kokeshi doll collection, Shiga, Japan. About Japan’s Kokeshi Dolls: Kokeshi are Japanese dolls originally from northern Japan. They are handmade from wood, have a simple trunk and an enlarged head with a few thin, painted lines to define the face. One characteristic of kokeshi dolls is their lack of arms or legs. They were originally a toy for a small child and generally have thin terminal areas. Today they are widely collected and variations are numerous. Our choice examples were acquired from private Japanese collections. Lifetime guarantee of authenticity. All our Asian works of art are accompanied by our lifetime guarantee of authenticity.
