JAPANESE VINTAGE WOOD KOKESHI DOLL WHITE & BLACK FLOWERS ON KIMONO BY USABURO !

Description

This lovely Japanese solid wood creative kokeshi doll is in great condition, and measures 7.5" high and 9" in circumference around her head.   She was made by arguably the most famous creative kokeshi doll maker in Japan - Okamoto Usaburo.  He has won many of the highest awards in Japan for his kokeshi doll creations, including one for this doll.  Her name is "Hana Guruma" which roughly translates to "Flower Wheel".
Her kimono has been stained an attractive red color, which still allows the beautiful wood grain to show through.  The kimono was then decorated with large white and black flowers with yellow centers.
Her sweet facial features are just adorable with barely pink cheeks and wide set eyes, framed by her traditional hair style.  The artist's black stamp/chop is on the side of the doll, and the round red and white Usaburo sticker is on the bottom.  Please see below for flaws.
This kokeshi doll is in good vintage condition - hard to find many flaws other than a ding on the hair - and she would make a great addition to your growing collection.  White areas are camera glare.
Please remember that this is a vintage doll that may have minor imperfections, such as dust/dirt/dings/scratches/scuffs/age spots.
And please note the size of the doll as the pictures may make it look larger than it actually is.
