Charming Sōsaku Kokeshi by Kazuo Takamizawa, 1970s

This creative-style (sōsaku) kokeshi doll, crafted by master artist Kazuo Takamizawa, depicts a young girl with a delicate, serene expression and subtly painted eyes.

Dimensions: Height 18 cm, diameter 7 cm.
Markings: Signed with the artist’s original hanko (seal) on the base.

The doll wears a striking red kimono adorned with a dynamic pattern of yellow and black flowers, creating a cheerful and decorative effect. Her hair is styled in a distinctive black helmet-like bob, topped with an elegant wooden hair ornament—a signature feature of Takamizawa’s work.
