Beautiful carvings and natural wood grain make this kokeshi really stand out. She was made by master Takeda Masashi who was born in Yamagata prefecture in 1930 and won many prizes for his works. His kokeshi has a unique style, with rich darkwood tone and carved flowers. He barely uses any paint to showcase the beauty of the natural texture of the wood used.
In very good condition with one wood knot in the front.
Height: 24.5cm / 9.6 inches
