Vivid and eye-catching, this vintage Yajiro-style kokeshi makes an immediate impression with its striking purple and red decorations and the iconic concentric-circle "cap" that crowns the head — the unmistakable signature of the Yajiro school from Miyagi Prefecture.
Yajiro kokeshi are celebrated for their bold color palettes and their gracefully slender yet stable silhouette — a more modern body shape that gives them a contemporary feel while remaining deeply rooted in folk tradition. At 12" tall, this piece commands attention on any shelf.
Condition: Very good. Minor scuffs on the head and fading paint on the body.
