Traditional wooden kokeshi dolls with charming hand-painted expressions. Showa era, pre-war kokeshi, Nishiyama Kenichi traditional kokeshi, folk art, old toy. This is a kokeshi doll by Kenichi Nishiyama (1920-2003). Ink writing that appears to read "Yajirau Shinyama Kyujo" can be seen on the bottom. I would appreciate it if someone knowledgeable could provide more information. As it is an old item, there are age-related yellowing and fading of the colors. (Please refer to the images.) Recommended for kokeshi collections. Thank you for viewing.
