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.
