This delicate Kokeshi by artist Noboru Wagatsuma captivates with its harmonious colour combination of soft purple and gentle pink, lending the hand-turned wooden figure a particularly feminine and contemporary elegance. The characteristic bun hairstyle emphasises the playful, modern interpretation of traditional Kokeshi forms and gives the doll a charming, lively personality.
Wagatsuma-san masterfully combines classic Japanese craftsmanship with a fresh, contemporary sense of colour. The finely painted floral patterns blend organically into the two-tone design, creating a balanced harmony between tradition and modernity. The clean, minimalist silhouette allows the delicate hand-painting and affectionate facial features to truly shine.
Each Kokeshi is entirely turned and painted by hand—an elaborate process that makes every piece a true one-of-a-kind creation. The natural variations in colour application and pattern execution are an expression of genuine artisanal mastery and give this compact beauty its unmistakable character.
