Product details
Kawase Yuji Sōsaku Kokeshi – Autumn -17cm
A beautiful example by renowned post-war sōsaku kokeshi artisan Kawase Yuji, admired for his poetic use of colour, delicate engraving and seasonal storytelling. This 17cm vintage doll captures the quiet beauty of autumn, its cylindrical form wrapped in hand-painted maple leaves in rich reds, golds and russet tones.
True to Kawase’s style, the facial features are minimal yet expressive, allowing the gentle character of the wood to speak. The doll is skillfully constructed from two contrasting timbers—one for the head and one for the body—creating subtle differences in grain and tone that enhance the handmade feel.
A fine collectible piece with no noticeable scratches, dents, or marks, making it a wonderful addition to any kokeshi collection or a thoughtful gift for lovers of Japanese folk art. Warm, timeless, and quietly evocative of autumn’s calm.
