The Camellia Kokeshi - Wood - Tamura Noboru - Japan - Shōwa period (1926-1989)

Here is an exceptional lot of two Sosaku Kokeshi. The first is an imposing vintage Sosaku Kokeshi crafted by master Tamura Noboru. Declined in many sizes, this one stands out for its size (29.5 cm). The quality of its lacquer and the colors of its camellia kimono make it exceptional. Beautiful signature. Dimensions: H 29.5 x D 8.5 cm The second is a Sosaku Kokeshi crafted by the renowned artist Hajime Miyashita, born in 1940. Hajime Miyashita has won the prestigious Japanese Prime Minister's Prize several times during his career. This Kokeshi stands out for its poetic design and its round, curved forms. The body and the base are adorned with stylized three-petal floral motifs, hand-painted in dark brown and burgundy tones. Dimensions: H 25.5 x D 9.5 cm Kokeshi are now true collector’s pieces. Please refer to the photos for more details. Fast and careful shipping.
