Kiyohara Takao 清原たかを  (1916 -)

Shingata

Born in 1916, Takao Kiyohara was an independent kokeshi craftsman based in Shiroishi, Miyagi Prefecture. A former military pilot, he became known for bridging traditional kokeshi forms with creative designs, particularly those inspired by the Togatta and Yamagata traditions. His works often feature delicate floral motifs and expressive faces. Despite limited records of his personal life, he received numerous awards, including the Prime Minister's Prize at the All-Japan Kokeshi Contest in 1989. His exact date of death remains unknown.
