Thank you for looking. Please visit my other listings of contemporary and antique Japanese art. Japan, circa the 1970s. This large, head-turning kokeshi figurine is an excellent example of Master Takahashi’s work. Takahashi-san’s innovative vision and style, as well as the important contribution he made to the sosaku movement, have made him a revered figure among kokeshi collectors. He is a recipient of multiple high awards in kokeshi competitions; his works are represented in many respectable collections. This large kokeshi will be a visible art accent to complement your home decor. The figurine is in good vintage condition. There is some minor fading and ageing in the varnish, consistent with age – please review the images carefully. Height: 14.5 inches. Weight: 2.3 lbs (1,042 g). Born in 1918 in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture (where traditional kokeshi were born), Takahashi-san was originally a fine artist/painter. He is known for his colorful designs and expressive brush strokes. His artistic background also includes time spent as a craftsman of Yuzen silk dying factory that produced fabrics for kimono. It is no surprise that kimono is the omni-important element of all of his kokeshi. Takahashi-san is a recognized and widely admired kokeshi artist. He is the winner of multiple awards in yearly Kokeshi competitions, including the Prime Minister’s Award, the highest honor bestowed on sosaku kokeshi artists. Takahashi-san has a distinctive, accentuated approach to depicting the kimono. His figurines fashion both painted and carved kimono, obi with exaggerated waists, and supportive under- and over-garments such as scarves and sashes. His dolls strike with bold, minimalistic body shapes, and the decorative motives range from seasonal flowers such as realistically painted Plum flowers (Ume), Cherry blossoms (Sakura), and Japanese Iris (Ayame), to zodiac figures. Last but not least, are the stylized faces with expressive eyes, small dot noses, and wisps of hair. Takahashi-son passed away in 2002, and his son, Akinori is carrying on the family’s tradition, although on a smaller scale.

Kabuki Dancer performing Kuroda Bushi, the true story of a Samurai Warrior named Mori Tahei who was send on an errand by his master Lord Kuroda. Tahei was a heavy drinker and was ordered to stay sober on this mission. He was sent top meet with another warlord, who also liked his Sake. This warlord offered Tahei a drink, which he first refused, until it became a bet. If he could drink a large amount of sake (rumored at 3 liters) from the bowl he is carrying, he could have asked for anything in his host’s possession. Tahei emptied the bowl and asked for the spear he is holding. This spear was one of three such fabled weapons made by master armorers of that day. It is on display in the Fukoaka Museum. A statue of Tahei is located in front of the same museum. The artisan studio that made this figure is The Hakata Doll Association, one of only seven such studios during the modern heyday (1950-55). It is a low-fired ceramic with a bisque finish, and handmade by a single artisan. In 1955, Japan started mass producing Hakata Dolls for export. Six of the seven original studios were closed by early 1956. The Association remained in business and actually exists to this day. Alfredo1107 items for sale. Mare_1832 items for sale.

This is one super fantastic OG Barbie doll set up. Marked on the bottom 1958, which we believe is a patent number so most likely a doll from 1961. Excellent overall original condition. Has been very well kept and stored. No signs of bug damages. Shows really no signs of defects whatsoever. Has not had any type of jewelry on- So no oxidation or staining anywhere. No holes in feet. Mark Japan on bottom. We really are not experts in Barbie whatsoever so please see all photos and feel free to ask all questions. We will try to answer as best we can. Comes with all items shown, including original tagged, Barbie clothing and case. Everything here appears to be original but again we are no experts so there may be a piece of clothing or two that date to a different time or are not with other original items? We did our best. Super cool old school set for collector or display! We also have other items from this time.
