This piece was designed by well-known kokeshi doll maker – Tasuo Kato – who has won numerous top awards in Japan for his sosaku creations, including the most prestigious Prime Minister’s Award. She measures 7″ high, and 10″ in circumference around her head. Her name is “Naisho” which roughly translates to “Secret”. The artist is known for high quality, hand crafted dolls. This kokeshi’s kimono features interesting designs with blue, red and green flowers. Each design contains many tiny divots carved into the wood to give this piece extra depth and texture. She has such a sweet face, framed by her hair pulled up into a decorated top knot. The artist’s red stamp/chop is on the bottom. Please see below for flaws. This kokeshi doll is in good vintage condition – hard to find many flaws – and she would make a great addition to your growing collection. White areas are camera glare. Please remember that this is a vintage kokeshi that may have minor imperfections, such as dust/dirt/dings/scratches/scuffs/age spots. And please note the size of the piece as the pictures may make it look larger than it actually is. And thanks for looking!

Up for grabs is this lovely American Girl Barbie. She has a completely original face, near complete face makeup. Her body is great except for a few marks on the ankle and behind one knee. Both knees hold two clicks. No loose joints or hips. No stains or other marks on the body. 80% complete nail polish. She is wearing her original swimsuit, with a loose seam at the back of the bottom. Matching pair of Japan turquoise heels. The dress is good overall. The snap could use shoring up but is all present. There is a tiny bit of wear overall. The boots are great. I think she looks fab in this mod outfit. Although this girl isn’t perfect her face is quite lovely and her hair is the longer style of American Girl. Please do ask questions. I guarantee my items to be as described.
