【M-012】 Bizen Ware Kojima Takanori Doll Vase / Brush Holder Bizen Ware Ceramic Doll Made by the famous Bizen craftsman, the 13th generation Chojuro Tomoyoshi Kimura This is a ceramic doll with a profound, bronze-like feel. You can use it to hold flowers or stand up brushes. It is a Bizen ware work. I think it's a rare item that you don't often see. Kojima Takanori was a warrior who is said to have been active from the late Kamakura period to the period of the Northern and Southern Courts. He was a loyal retainer who encouraged Emperor Go-Daigo by carving words of encouragement on the trunk of a cherry tree that grew in the Emperor's lodging. #Itchy'sAntiques #BizenWare #Antiques #ChojuroTomoyoshiKimura #Ceramics #CeramicDoll #FlowerVase #KojimaTakanori #BrushHolder #CeramicDoll #RareItem #Ornament #AntiqueOrnament #FolkCrafts #AntiqueArt #Doll
