Iwasaki Nobue – Komori Vintage Creative Kokeshi Doll (19.5cm/7.6 inches)

This lovely and surprisingly bulky kokeshi doll was made by Iwasaki Nobue. She’s titled 子守 (komori) which means “Babysitting”. It shows a mother or perhaps an older sister carrying a young baby on her back and the baby is taking a peak from above her shoulder. The wood used has a beautiful pattern that is visible all around the doll.

In great condition with minor signs of age and use. Unsigned but comes in the original box.

Height: 19.5cm/ 7.6 inches
