Kokeshi doll
By Sansaku Sekiguchi, Japan
Wood, paint
4.25" (10.2 cm) in height and diameter
20th century
One of the most graceful and demure kokeshi dolls that I've seen. No similar examples can be found, so it might be a one off or a very small production from this artist.
Sansaku Sekiguchi was born in 1925 in Shibukawa, Gunma Prefecture. He is the only artist who has been certified as a Master of Creative Kokeshi dolls by the Japanese Government and has won the Prime Minister's Award for his kokeshi dolls three times.
