Beautiful Haru No Kagayaki Kokeshi By Usaburo.
This is an original model by the master Okamoto. The title of this specific design is "Haru No Kagayaki" (春の輝き), which translates to "Splendor Of Spring". Characteristic of this vintage design are the egg-shaped, minimalist body, the subtle hairstyle with a slanted fringe, and the delicate, incised white flowers (plum blossom) on a green (gradient) background. Usaburo Okamoto is known as a pioneer within the Sosaku (creative) Kokeshi movement in Gunma Prefecture. Usaburo (1917 - 2009) from the 1970s. The wood grain of this kimono is beautifully decorated. Usaburo began his artistic career creating industrial metal artworks and subsequently approached the Kokeshi tradition in 1950. He is considered one of the most important masters of this tradition, particularly famous for introducing new styles and decoration techniques that contributed to the birth of the so-called "creative" Kokeshi, detached from a figurative point of view compared to the "traditional" one. During his career, he received numerous awards, including the prestigious Premier's Award. The height is 12 cm; please view the photos for the condition.
