This vintage midcentury Kokeshi doll from Japan features a design inspired by the work of celebrated artist Yamanaka Sanpei. She wears a striking black kimono decorated with blue geometric hashtag-like motifs and a striped sash, while her signature black helmet hair is adorned with a pink flower. Her sweet, cheeky expression adds charm and personality.
A beautiful example of Japanese folk art, this doll is both collectible and decorative — perfect for display on a shelf, sideboard, or as part of a curated vignette.
