An extraordinary Kokeshi doll from the renowned workshop of Master Noboru Wagatsuma, embodying the centuries-old tradition of the Togatta style in perfect completion. This 6 cm tall doll captivates with its virtuoso brushwork and the characteristic chrysanthemum pattern that is among the hallmarks of this traditional style.

The delicate chrysanthemum blossoms, applied with gossamer-fine brush strokes, demonstrate Wagatsuma's masterful command of traditional painting techniques.

The simple, elegant Togatta style paired with friendly facial expression makes this Kokeshi a timeless collector's item. The signature underscores the authenticity and special value of this handcrafted doll.

Comes with matching gift box (see image).
