{"product_id":"st-ejikokl2","title":"Ejiko Kokeshi – Sunset – Yajiro Tradition","description":"\u003cp\u003eA baby sits in its basket – sheltered, still, almost hidden. The Ejiko form, originally inspired by the wooden carrying baskets in which children in the Tōhoku region were placed during fieldwork, is here reduced to its emotional essence: protection, warmth and security. This Kokeshi variant has long been regarded as an expression of maternal care – and Yusuke Sato carries this tradition forward with its characteristic restraint. The piece is made at Kijidokoro Sato, a workshop with over 120 years of history in the heart of the Yajiro region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe basket is round and smooth, without painting, without lines – a pink gradient from warm pink at the base to pale natural wood at the opening. The surface speaks through form and colour alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside sits the Kokeshi figure: a small head, closed eyes in Fuse-me style, a delicate smile and red cheeks. The pink hair crown has a black finish with ornamental blossoms and a hand-painted motif at the side – fine painting on the smallest of formats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeen from above, what remains hidden from the front becomes visible: the characteristic Rokuro-Moyo pattern on the crown – concentric circles in red, orange, green and white, turned with precision. A signature feature of the Yajiro tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEjiko Kokeshi in the Yajiro tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBasket: pink colour gradient, smooth surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKokeshi figure: Fuse-me eyes, hand-painted motif, Yajiro hair crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRokuro-Moyo pattern on the crown: concentric circles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTurned and painted by hand – by Yusuke Sato\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSigned by the artist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n  \u003cdt\u003eHeight\u003c\/dt\u003e\n  \u003cdd\u003eapprox. 4 cm\u003c\/dd\u003e\n  \u003cdt\u003eDiameter\u003c\/dt\u003e\n  \u003cdd\u003eapprox. 4 cm\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e","brand":"Yusuke Sato | 佐藤裕介","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64785836704093,"sku":"ST-EJIKOKL2","price":71.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0930\/3814\/9981\/files\/st-ejikokl2_cover.png?v=1779722389","url":"https:\/\/punkeshi.com\/en\/products\/st-ejikokl2","provider":"Punkeshi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
