JAPANESE WOOD KOKESHI DOLL LOVELY DANCER w/ PRETTY PARASOL BY SADAO KISHI !

Description

This vintage Japanese wood sosaku creative kokeshi doll measures 8.5" high, while the parasole measures 3.5" in diameter.  She was designed by highly revered kokeshi doll artist - Sadao Kishi - who has won so very many awards in Japan for his kokeshi doll creations, including one for this doll.  Her name is "Izu No Odoriko" which roughly translates to "Dancer From Izu".
This kokeshi doll's lovely kimono is decorated with pink and white chrysanthemum flowers.  She's also wearing a lavender obi with tiny plum blossoms that were carved into the wood.   And a flowered kanzashi adorns her large top knot.  Her parasol is also decorated with flowers and leaves.  The artist's fading red stamp/chop is on the bottom.  Please see below for flaws.
This vintage kokeshi doll is in fair to good vintage condition - with worn, whitish varnish, age spots, and natural but uneven aging/shading/darkening of the wood - 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.
