Thank you for taking a look.






【Product Description】
Naruko Onsen is known as one of Japan's leading production areas for kokeshi dolls and is a central hub of Tohoku's craft culture, which has a tradition dating back to the Edo period.


This piece is an original kokeshi based on the Naruko style, beautifully harmonizing glossy black hair, a calm expression, and kimono patterns mainly in red and white.


While retaining the simple charm of traditional kokeshi, it incorporates a modern design sensibility, making it a piece reminiscent of Showa-era retro style.


It is highly popular overseas as a "Kokeshi Doll" and is cherished as an interior item symbolizing Japanese culture.


Perfect for collectors of Japanese folk art, traditional wooden dolls, and vintage Japanese decor.
