This extraordinary 9cm miniature from the workshop of Noboru Wagatsuma masterfully combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with a touch of extravagance. The distinctive beehive hairstyle gives the kokeshi a playfully modern flair, while the artful chrysanthemum pattern in authentic Togatta tradition underscores the timeless elegance of Japanese wooden dolls.

Crafted with flowing brushstrokes and Wagatsuma's characteristic meticulous precision, this little beauty showcases the masterful skill of the renowned artisan. Every detail – from the delicate chrysanthemum blossoms to the voluminous hair design – has been executed with the utmost care.

This charming miniature is more than just a collector's item: it is a successful homage to the centuries-old kokeshi tradition that simultaneously proves traditional art certainly allows room for creative interpretations.

Comes with matching gift box (see image).
