• 
• 

NAME: Modern creative Japanese kokeshi, signature board

MAKER: Hajime Miyashita

SIZE: 15-1/8" (38.7cm)

CONDITION: There are several dents on the doll. Most are minor and not very noticeable. Several larger (little longer, little deeper) dents are on or near the design on the lower front of the kimono. A bit of the finish has scraped off the top edge of hair on the left side. There is a flaw in the wood (crack along the grain under the hair in the back).

NOTES: Mr. Miyashita was born in 1940 and has won multiple awards including the prime minister prize in 1977. In 1969, his works were purchased by the Crowned Prince & Princess.

Lovely doll, exceptional in this size. Made of beautiful keyaki (zelcova) wood.

Very heavy doll with a weight over 6 pounds. Had you shipped this from Japan directly, the cost would have been about US$95 air or $77.00 SAL.
