Sanpei Yamanaka's creative kokeshi doll, "Azemichi" (Path Along the Rice Field). Beautiful coloring, aged by long years of sunlight. The distant eyes and small mouth, combined with the flowing wood grain, create a presence-filled expression. The rounded silhouette is understated and elegant. One of Sanpei's recommended works. In very good condition, even as a vintage item. Height: 23cm (9in) Weight: 407g Artist's mark: Yes
