This highly original Kokeshi doll enchants with its delicate face made of bleached Mizuki wood, a fanciful hat crafted from contrasting types of wood, and traditional floral patterns in the Togatta style. Particularly striking is its body, composed of nine layers of wood that resemble a finely layered pastry. A masterfully crafted object that embodies outstanding creativity, a spirit of innovation, and exceptional craftsmanship.
