Kokeshi Zogan Sakura (L)

Kokeshi, made and hand painted by Usaburo Kokeshi. His name is Zogan Sakura which in Japanese means "inlaid cherry blossoms" and takes this name from the cherry blossoms that have been finely engraved and inlaid on the wood. Her black kimono stands out not only for the cherry blossoms left in the natural wood color but also for the beautiful wood grain.
For the creation of this kokeshi, Mizuki wood (Japanese dogwood) was used for the face and chestnut wood for the body and the helmet. The kokeshi is 21cm tall and 9cm in diameter. It is accompanied by a wooden plaque, with its name in Japanese, the name and stamp of the artist who made it. Original packaging is included, stamped and signed by Usaburo Kokeshi.
