Inventory Number: 73217
NAME: Modern creative Japanese kokeshi, Year of the Boar (2019)
MAKER: Kouson Sato
SIZE: 18" (46cm), weight 9.5 pounds in box
CONDITION: The doll is in very good condition with a 1/8" chip in the wood on the "shoulder" and a "L" crack in the wood on the back of the head. Both of these issues are probably manufacture/wood flaws because of where they are or what they are.
NOTES: Includes original box and stand
Year of the Boar: 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007 & 2019.
The art work also has cherry blossoms (beauty of life), pine (longevity & good fortune) and bamboo (prosperity, purity).
Ms. Kouson's kokeshi faces are usually easily recognizable. They are soft and gentle looking. She has been making kokeshi for over 50 years, and I believe she is retired now. Aside from her most popular laughing pair, Ms. Kouson's dolls are generally large (tall) with scenery and flowers. Will be listing more of her dolls in the near future including some other hard to find Zodiac animals.
