The body is tall and cylindrical, finished in a deep brown-black tone that allows the natural grain and irregular character of the wood to remain visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most distinctive details is the metallic cord wrapped around the middle of the body, forming a narrow decorative band. This simple addition creates a beautiful contrast between the dark textured wood and the fine linear ornament, while emphasizing the elongated proportions of the figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike traditional kokeshi tied to specific regional lineages, Sōsaku Kokeshi developed during the 20th century as a more individual form of artistic expression. Makers experimented freely with shape, proportion, surface treatment and different materials, treating each doll as a small wooden sculpture rather than following a fixed inherited pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComing from Shiobara, an area long associated with hot-spring travel and mountain tourism, this piece also reflects the close relationship between creative kokeshi and the regional craft culture that flourished around Japan’s onsen towns during the Shōwa period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 5 x 5 x 20cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"≈20cm","offer_id":58235808383307,"sku":"K20171","price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/Cover_bc21ed49-e527-44dc-b579-d0874505f6d0.jpg?v=1787525742","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/fr\/products\/k20171-sosaku-kokeshi-by-mineyama-%e5%b3%af%e5%b1%b1","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
