The face is delicately rendered, with softly arched eyes and a faint, serene smile, conveying a quiet, introspective presence characteristic of Hashime’s work. A subtle pink bow adorns the hair, adding a light, charming accent without disturbing the overall restraint of the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is decorated with finely painted floral motifs in soft yet lively hues—white, pink, purple, and red blossoms arranged with a natural, flowing rhythm. These understated decorations enhance rather than dominate the form, reflecting the aesthetic principles of wabi-sabi, where beauty lies in simplicity and imperfection, and shibui, an enduring elegance achieved through subtlety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe smooth surface, softened by time and gentle wear, further deepens the sense of warmth and authenticity. Altogether, this piece is a refined expression of Hashime’s artistry—quietly graceful, contemplative, and rooted in the timeless harmony between natural material and human emotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 7 x 7 x 24cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/search?q=%E9%AB%99%E6%A9%8B%E3%81%AF%E3%81%97%E3%82%81\u0026amp;options%5Bprefix%5D=last\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore works by Takahashi Hashime 髙橋はしめ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"≈25cm","offer_id":56938652860747,"sku":"K25156","price":32.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/temple_2f55630e-4f4c-4354-8689-3d19637a8dc6.jpg?v=1775148685","url":"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/products\/k25156-sosaku-kokeshi-by-takahashi-hashime-%e9%ab%99%e6%a9%8b%e3%81%af%e3%81%97%e3%82%81","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
