Description: Thank you for looking. Please visit my other listings of contemporary and antique Japanese art. Authentic Japanese sosaku ("modern" or "creative") kokeshi. Signed by the artist. - Height: approximately 16 cm - Head diameter: approximately 7 cm - Weight: 196 g About Japanese "Creative" Kokeshi The majority of sosaku kokeshi (also referred to as "modern" or "creative" kokeshi dolls) originate from Japan's Gunma Prefecture, the top producing area of sosaku kokeshi in Japan. Kokeshi made in Gunma is differentiated from dento kokeshi ("traditional" kokeshi) produced in the Tohoku district in northeastern Honshu. Modern kokeshi is characterized by freedom from the conventional shapes of kokeshi with a round head. The modern kokeshi are often shaped as little girls with plump round body and bobbed hair or other non-traditional forms. #7
