It crafted in a minimalist, rounded style. Each figure has a large, unpainted wooden head with simple hand-painted facial dots that give them a gentle, almost wistful expression. Their bodies are smoothly turned and stained in rich colors: one in red, the other in green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pair comes from Hanamaki 花巻, Iwate Prefecture, an area known for its folk craft traditions and for producing distinctive creative kokeshi. It is not one of the “traditional” kokeshi-producing centers like Naruko or Tsuchiyu, but it became known in the mid-20th century for creative, experimental, often whimsical kokeshi made by artisan woodworkers rather than hereditary doll-making families.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth dolls stand on small split-leg bases characteristic of certain mid-century creative kokeshi forms. The wood shows natural patina, light wear, and variations in grain, all adding to their handmade appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether, these two figures capture the warmth, simplicity, and playful personality typical of early sōsaku kokeshi from the Hanamaki region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 5 x 5 x 6.5cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"≈5cm","offer_id":55943831585099,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/temple_c18bac3f-d68b-4792-b4ea-4a0cdab5243d.jpg?v=1763585182","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/de\/products\/k05051-sosaku-kokeshi-from-hanamaki-%e8%8a%b1%e5%b7%bb","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
