About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
Beautiful Aika (AO) Kokeshi by Artforum. This is a modern (sosaku) kokeshi rather than a traditional regional style. Modern kokeshi dolls often feature more detailed hairstyles, body shapes, and clothing that deviate from the simple cylindrical forms of the past. She wears a dark blue/black (ao) lacquered kimono with striking pink floral motifs (peonies or sakura) and a distinctive traditional hair ornament (a hair ribbon or comb) atop her updo. The name Aika usually means "love song" or "meeting with love" in Japanese, combined with Ao (which means blue, referring to the dark blue base color of the wood). Artforum is a Japanese brand specializing in the design and production of contemporary Japanese arts and crafts and souvenirs, including these modern sosaku kokeshi (creative wooden dolls). In contrast to the traditional, centuries-old kokeshi dolls from the northern Tohoku region of Japan (which are closely linked to specific spas and have fixed styles), Artforum focuses on decorative and more refined modern designs. The height is 17 cm; please view the photos for the condition. Please note: Kokeshi dolls are not new, so scratches, discoloration, and/or cracks/dents will always be present to a greater or lesser extent.
