{"product_id":"st-yllw","title":"Gara-iri Kokeshi – Yajiro Tradition | 27 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eEvery detail of this Kokeshi bears the hand of Kijidokoro Sato, a workshop with more than 120 years of history in the heart of the Yajiro region in Miyagi. Hidden inside the head are adzuki beans: when moved, they create a soft, dry rattle. In Japan, they have been regarded for centuries as a symbol of good fortune, used at births, weddings and festivals. This construction is called \u003cem\u003egara-iri\u003c\/em\u003e – sound as a fourth dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHideyuki Sato himself describes this piece as an old-style Kokeshi – a deliberate reference to the Oriki period, that early phase of the Yajiro tradition from which the ochre-yellow body with patterned painting originates. No modern intervention, no reinvention, but the return to a form that existed before it had a name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ochre-yellow body carries a firebird motif in red and black, its feathers unfolding from the neck to the base. The same flame shape returns in the hair and on the cheeks of the face. Head and body become a closed pictorial circle. The round head has gentle eyes, rosy cheeks and a small mouth. The black hair crown is finished with red flame accents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGara-iri: adzuki-bean rattle inside the head\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYajiro style, Oriki period: ochre-yellow body with firebird motif\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHand-turned and hand-painted – by Kijidokoro Sato, Miyagi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWood: Mizuki (dogwood)\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. 27 cm\u003c\/dd\u003e\n  \u003cdt\u003eDiameter\u003c\/dt\u003e\n  \u003cdd\u003eapprox. 9 cm\u003c\/dd\u003e\n  \u003cdt\u003eOrigin\u003c\/dt\u003e\n  \u003cdd\u003eMiyagi, Japan\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e","brand":"Hideyuki Sato | 佐藤英之","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64783830286685,"sku":"ST-YLLW","price":147.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0930\/3814\/9981\/files\/st-yllw_cover2.png?v=1780155089","url":"https:\/\/punkeshi.com\/en\/products\/st-yllw","provider":"Punkeshi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
