The tall, slender form with a sleek … more Beautifull pair of 1960s ñokeshi japanese wooden dolls probably attributed to Usaburo Okamoto
The tall, slender form with a sleek black hairstyle is typical of Sosaku Kokeshi. The body showcases a finely painted floral pattern and a geometric design around the lower section, likely representing a kimono. The simple, serene facial expression with closed eyes and a small mouth is a hallmark of these dolls.
This doll follows a more minimalist aesthetic but still emphasizes detail in the kimono's painted patterns.
The shorter doll has a rounded head with a top bun, suggesting a more playful, child-like design. The body is decorated with colorful floral motifs, adding a vibrant, cheerful element.
This doll likely leans towards a more modern, whimsical interpretation of Sosaku Kokeshi, with a focus on charm and color. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
