Figurine - Prachtige brede Vintage Sōsaku Kokeshi-pop - Kazuo Takamizawa (b

This object is a beautiful and rare traditional Japanese kokeshi doll, specifically a Sōsaku (creative) kokeshi. This refined doll was designed and crafted by the renowned, award-winning artist Kazuo Takamizawa (born 1927), a respected craftsman from Gunma Prefecture whose work is highly valued by international collectors. The doll stands out for its harmonious, round form and contrasting color usage. She wears a vibrant vermilion-red kimono adorned with subtly incised and hand-painted plum blossoms (ume), which in Japanese culture symbolize resilience, happiness, and the onset of spring. The front of the kimono features a geometric, wood-burned pattern that testifies to masterful craftsmanship. Her iconic, deep-black bob haircut is styled in an updo knot, also decorated with floral motifs. Her facial expression is serene and restrained. The doll is stamped on the bottom with the original red artist’s seal (hanko) of Kazuo Takamizawa, which guarantees the authenticity of this collectible object. • In good vintage condition with minimal signs of aging inherent to the age and material. See photos for an accurate personal impression. There are no customs duties when shipping within the European Union! The item will be carefully packed and shipped.
