Figurine - Prachtige Vintage Sōsaku Kokeshi Pop door...

A stunning and elegantly designed vintage Sōsaku (creative) Kokeshi doll, handmade and signed by the highly regarded Japanese Kokeshi master Sekiguchi Toa (関口東亜). • This doll showcases Sekiguchi's absolute masterful touch. The egg-shaped head features a beautiful, minimalist stylized bob haircut that perfectly frames the serene-looking face. Her eyes are gently closed. • Intaglio woodcarving: The kimono is decorated with extraordinary precision with deeply incised and subtly colored flower motifs (peonies/plum blossoms), combined with refined pyrography (wood-burning technique). The natural grain of the high-quality wood is thus beautifully brought to the fore. • Signature: On the underside the doll bears the original, authentic artist's seal (hanko) with the family name 関口 (Sekiguchi). The doll is in beautiful vintage condition with a wonderful authentic patina that suits the age of the piece. (Optional: See photos for your own precise impression of the condition). This is a rare and exquisitely elegant collectible from a decorated Japanese master. There are no customs duties when shipping within the European Union! The item will be carefully packaged and shipped. Please note that the packaging was handled by an individual and not by a professional service, so perfect packaging quality cannot be guaranteed. Thank you for your understanding.
