Creative kokeshi by Masae Fujikawa "Michiyuki" 18.5cm A creative kokeshi work by Masae Fujikawa. The design is based on the "Michiyuki coat," a traditional Japanese garment. The body features a delicate design of **susuki (Japanese pampas grass)**, reminiscent of autumn. The beautiful gradation of the wood grain, transitioning from a calm red to a deep color, and the serene expression of the closed eyes create an impressive piece. Holding it, you feel a solid weight, reflecting the quality of the wood. This "Michiyuki" design was highly acclaimed in a kokeshi competition and is known as a work that received the Prime Minister's Prize. Comes with the original box. Please check the photos as this is a vintage item.
