Product details
This cute kokeshi by kokeshi master Sekaguchi is named Dojo (girl). She is 14cm tall and in excellent condition. This kokeshi has been made by master Sekaguchi in many sizes and slight colour differences. This one has light hair and light shaded body rather than the more common black hair and dark green body.
The artist's signature is on the back and the onsen where it was purchased is on the bottom.
Sekaguchi passed away in 2018 but his family carry on with the tradition of making sasaku kokeshi in his own museum where he worked and lived. Sekaguchi was a winner of many awards, such as the Ministry of International Trade Industry Award in 1978, Prime Minister’s Award and many others.
Sekaguchi favoured dogwood for his pieces and used many types of motifs which include elements of festivals, nature especially clouds, cherry blossoms and the gingko leaf.
