Traditional Kokeshi Artist: Maruo Sato (1942-2017) Akihaku Onsen, Miyagi Prefecture, Togatta style Purchased directly from the workshop in Akihaku Onsen around 2002. Kokeshi dolls made in the Akihaku Onsen area are characterized by thick green lines painted above and below the body pattern, and the "乙" (otsu, a character resembling a "Z") shape on the head. They are classified as Togatta style, which is also made in the Togatta Onsen area within Miyagi Prefecture. Size: Height approx. 33.5cm, Base diameter approx. 6.5cm, Head diameter approx. 10cm I have kept it in storage without displaying it, so I believe the condition is good. There is some blurring in the painted colors on the body pattern, but overall, the colors are beautiful and the gloss is maintained. Please check the photos.
