{"product_id":"st-fuku1","title":"FUKU KURUMA 福車 | Kiku | Chrysanthemum | Yajiro Tradition","description":"\u003cp\u003eFuku means good fortune, Kuruma wheel or cart: Fuku Kuruma is fortune on wheels. A Kokeshi figure sits on a wooden axle between two wheels – ready to be set in motion. The form links the Kokeshi to the turned wooden toys from which it once emerged, and carries a wish within it: that good fortune may start rolling. Yusuke Sato realises this idea with unusual lightness. He works at Kijidokoro Sato, a workshop with over 120 years of history at the heart of the Yajiro region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is pear-shaped, natural Mizuki wood as its ground, the grain softly visible. Upon it, a stylised chrysanthemum in red: pointed petals fanning upwards, green leaf lines beneath. The base is finished in yellow. The head shows a green hair crown with a red finish on top, a black fringe with red decorative blossoms beneath, side locks falling at either side. Narrow eyes, a fine smile, a calm and alert expression. The wheels are surfaces in their own right: on their outer faces the red chrysanthemum with green leaf lines appears again, framed by a broad orange-yellow ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eViewed from above, what remains hidden from the front becomes visible: the characteristic Rokuro-Moyo pattern on the crown – concentric circles in green and red, precisely applied. A hallmark of the Yajiro tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFuku Kuruma 福車 – Kokeshi on wheels in the Yajiro tradition\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBody: natural Mizuki wood, Kiku motif in red and green, yellow base\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eHead: green Yajiro hair crown, black fringe with red decorative blossoms\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWheels: Kiku motif on the outer faces, orange-yellow frame, green Rokuro-Moyo lines on the treads\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eHand-turned and hand-painted – by Yusuke Sato\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSigned by the artist\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeight: approx. 6.5 cm | Length: approx. 6.5 cm | Wheel diameter: approx. 6 cm | Wood: Mizuki (Dogwood) | Handcrafted\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yusuke Sato | 佐藤裕介","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66112848920925,"sku":"ST-FUKU1","price":77.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0930\/3814\/9981\/files\/st-fuku1_001.jpg?v=1791135728","url":"https:\/\/punkeshi.com\/en\/products\/st-fuku1","provider":"Punkeshi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
