Yajiro Ejiko Japanese Kokeshi w/Plum

• 
• 

Japanese traditional kokeshi, Yajiro style Ejiko. An Ejiko represents a baby in basket. In years gone by, when all hands were needed in the fields, the babies would have to go too. They would be bundled up and placed in a basket for safe keeping. This ejiko measures about 2.5" high as well as a 2.5" diameter. The body is rounded on the bottom so the baby rolls around in the basket. So cute! The front has a single plum flower and the back has a design as well. Signed by 3rd generation kokeshi craftsman, Hideyuki Sato of Kijidokoro-Sato.
