  • Traditional Drummer Pull Toy, New
  • Traditional Drummer Pull Toy, New

NAME: Traditional Japanese drummer pull toy

MAKER: Fumio Tsuta (Yajiro kokeshi artist and toy maker)

SIZE: 5-7/8" tall, 4-3/4" long

CONDITION: New/mint. The box was pretty beat up in transit.

NOTES: Just as kokeshi craftsmen, this trade is handed down from generation to generation. Mr. Tsuta's father as well as brother, Mamoru were also Yajiro craftsmen and toy makers. Both have passed.

When pulled, his head turns around and each arm moves up and down banging on the drum in turn.

This toy won the Minister of Education Award at the 28th All-Japan Kokeshi Contest in 1986.
