This is a museum-quality vintage Tsuchiyu-style Kokeshi doll by the master artisan Hiromichi Saito (1932-), likely crafted during his prime era in the late 1960s to early 1970s. Artistry: Features the iconic “Janome” (bullseye) crown and a dynamic “Nijimi” (bleeding red) motif on the body-a signature style of Hiromichi influenced by the Nakanosawa lineage. The brushwork is incredibly confident and sharp. Historical Significance: Based on the fluid, cursive style of the signature and the rich, honey-colored patina of the wood, this piece represents the artist at the height of his career (his 40s). It is a superb example of post-war Japanese folk craft. Weight: 6.7 oz. Natural Wood: Beautifully aged over 50 years to a deep, golden amber tone. Excellent Vintage Condition: Despite its age, the contrast between the black ink and the vivid red pigment remains exceptionally clear. Traditional Structure: The head is rotatable due to the traditional “Hamekomi” (inserted neck) technique. A slight, natural wobble is a characteristic feature of this authentic construction, not a defect. Details: Very well-preserved with only minor surface wear consistent with age. No cracks or major damage.

She’s a true platinum blonde that has been re-rooted (please see pictures #20 and 21) for before pics. She has untouched makeup and original eyelashes. Her prior condition was that she had very dry and brittle platinum hair that was breaking off. This often happens with 60 year old dolls as the hair ages. Most of her sideburns were missing.

The pictures show how pretty this doll is, and in my opinion she’s as sweet as apple pie.
