The doll features a compact, upright form with a softly rounded head and a slender cylindrical body, emphasizing balance and simplicity over ornamentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe facial expression is gentle and childlike, defined by fine, straight-cut bangs, small black eyes, and a delicate red mouth that conveys quiet warmth and innocence. A small red knob-like ornament set atop the head adds a playful accent and serves as a subtle focal point, lending individuality and charm to the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible grain and restrained surface treatment highlight the material itself, reflecting the sōsaku kokeshi philosophy of allowing form and wood to speak without excess decoration. The transition between head and body is marked by a slightly raised neck ring, giving the figure a gentle sense of rhythm and proportion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsami is an artist recognized for her work as a sōsaku kokeshi (creative kokeshi) doll maker, part of the 20th-century movement that reimagined traditional northern Japanese wooden dolls as individual works of art. Her pieces emphasize modern design while honoring the rustic spirit of the folk craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 3 x 3 x 6.5cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/search?q=%E6%9C%9D%E8%A6%8B\u0026amp;options%5Bprefix%5D=last\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore works by Asami 朝見\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"≈5cm","offer_id":56324273963339,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/temple_02995d4c-e7be-4d02-94bd-d5e1d2d4f71d.jpg?v=1768682147","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/de\/products\/k05058-sosaku-kokeshi-by-asami-%e6%9c%9d%e8%a6%8b","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
