Modern Creative Kokeshi, Takeda, 13-1/4" #73247
Sold
NAME: Modern creative Japanese kokeshi
MAKER: Masashi Takeda
SIZE: 13-1/4"
CONDITION: Except for a cluster of very light, very small dents on the left side of the head, she's in excellent condition.
NOTES: Mr. Takeda was born in 1955. He's a multi-prize winning arist. His dolls are always worthwhile owning. He works a lot with the natural woods and adds hints or bits of color.
The doll's name is "Winter of the North". This is one of his best dolls that I have seen. This particular doll has a bit darker scarf than the few dolls that have been available over the years. It's not such a stark contrast to the rest of the wood. Years ago, I saw this selling new on a Japanese website for $640.00.
