Modern Creative Kokeshi, Kisaku, 6.25" #73190
Sold
NAME: Modern creative Japanese kokeshi
MAKER: Kisaku
SIZE: 6-1/4" (16cm), 6" diameter (15.cm), 2-1/2 pounds
CONDITION: Several scrapes along the bangs (edge) and one an inch up from there. An area on the top of the head and three spots on the left side appear to be wood flaws. It looks like scrapes but it's probably more that the paint didn't absorb properly in those area. Along the bottom edge of the hair in back seems to be hairline cracks along the grain. Again, it's under the paint and not real noticeable but can be felt. There are also a few other small dents or scratches around the hair.
NOTES: Design is done burnt wood technique.
Identified as done by Kisaku but there is nothing known about the artist.
This is a lovely, heft doll which is almost as wide as she is tall. Quite unusual and very cute. The flaws are not really much of a detraction.
International customers: This doll will ship 1st class for approximately US$55.00. You will be invoiced for actual cost less shipping paid.
