Two Adorable Kokeshi Dolls by Takeda Masashi – 1970s

This charming pair of wooden Kokeshi dolls was designed by Japanese artist Takeda Masashi and dates back to the 1970s.

Dimensions per doll: height 10 cm, diameter 6 cm.

Each doll is hand-carved and hand-painted, featuring a unique floral motif on the kimono and a small red heart on the chest—a touching detail that adds to their special charm.

With their gentle facial expressions and subtle smiles, the dolls exude a calm and dreamy presence. Their hairstyles and posture reflect the typical mid-century modern design that is so beloved by collectors of Japanese folk art.

The dolls are in lovely vintage condition with minor signs of age that only enhance their warm and endearing character.

A rare and heartwarming duo, perfect for a stylish interior or as a meaningful gift for anyone who appreciates traditional Japanese aesthetics.
