Description: This is a modern Japanese "Okappa Haircut" (Japanese bobbed hair) Kokeshi doll, handcrafted by Usaburo Kokeshi. The doll wears a dark brown kimono adorned with yellow and orange ranunculus blossom patterns. Usaburo Kokeshi is a leading brand in the "creative kokeshi dolls" category, founded by the renowned craftsman Usaburo Okamoto (1917-2009), and is now led by his son, Yuji Okamoto (1948-), also known as Usaburo II. The term "creative kokeshi" refers to kokeshi dolls that are crafted based on the creativity and innovative ideas of the artist, rather than being confined to the shapes and styles of traditional Japanese kokeshi dolls. While traditional kokeshi, which have been produced in Japan for centuries, generally reflect regional techniques, culture, and the local wood, creative kokeshi transcend these boundaries, incorporating diverse materials, styles, and themes. *IMPORTANT*Your order will be shipped from Japan and may be subject to import taxes, fees, and customs duties, levied by the customs office of your country, and such fees vary according to the customs regulations there.
