  • SOLD: Modern Creative Kokeshi, Otani*, 8-3/8"  #73300 SOLD: Modern Creative Kokeshi, Otani*, 8-3/8"  #73300

NAME: Modern creative Japanese kokeshi

MAKER: Yoshio Otani. *The maker's signature is branded on the bottom but is not legible. Have seen a similar dolls with label intact and the maker was Yoshio Otani. I am certain this is done by Mr. Otani.

SIZE: 8-3/8" (21cm)

CONDITION: Few light scratches, nothing of note.

NOTES: Doll is carved from "head to toe". Chisel marks are completely covering the doll, including the face. The face is 3 dimensional as well as the sleeves. The flowers are also carved. The other doll I had seen was cylinder shaped done on a lathe and only the face was carved. The flowers were burnt wood style. This one would be considered the high end of this style. The label indicated the name of this doll is "Spring Dreams".

Mr. Otani was born in 1936. He started working on creative kokeshi from 1968. Multi award winning artist including the coveting Prime Minister award.
