Tsugaru Traditional Kokeshi, Mamiya, 12-1/8"
Sold
NAME: Tsugaru traditional Japanese kokeshi
MAKER: Mamiya*
SIZE: 12-1/8" (31cm)
CONDITION: Old doll with related condition issues - fading, wood age spots (darker than the overall oxidation that has occurred). There's a hairline crack on the right side of the head and a large oval crack on the left side. The left side is definitely a natural wood flaw as it runs around one of the rings in the wood.
NOTES: *This doll was made by Mamiya -- master and probably father of Masao (d2008 @87). There are several different translations for the given name including Akitaro and Meitaro but don't know if either is correct. Mr. Mamiya passed in 1977 at the age of 82.
This doll has a separate head. There is some nice woodworking at the neck.
