About the Item
Antique Japanese Kokeshi Dolls – Early 20th Century Handcrafted Set of 2 from Northern Japan
Discover the beauty of traditional Japanese craftsmanship with this exquisite set of two Kokeshi dolls, dating back to the early 20th century. Originating from northern Japan, these charming dolls are handcrafted from wood by skilled Japanese artisans. Characterized by their simple yet captivating design, each doll features a smooth trunk as the body and an enlarged head, with no arms or legs—a defining feature of Kokeshi dolls.
The dolls are painted by hand with delicate lines defining the face, while the bodies are adorned with beautiful floral motifs. A protective layer of wax enhances their charm, and each doll is signed by the artist on the bottom or back, adding an authentic touch. In good original condition, with minor wear consistent with age, they preserve a stunning patina that speaks to their history.
These Kokeshi dolls are believed to have originated with wood carvers from Shinchi Shuraku during the Edo period (1600-1868), originally crafted as souvenirs for visitors to the hot springs of Togatta in Zao. A true piece of Japanese cultural heritage, these dolls are perfect for collectors and those who appreciate fine, handcrafted art.
