Creative Kokeshi by Aramaki Kyōhō (荒巻京鳳) | 33,5 cm

This creative Kokeshi was made by Aramaki Kyōhō (荒巻京鳳), a Japanese artist within the sōsaku Kokeshi tradition. His work appears less frequently on the market and is characterized by a more elaborate and decorative approach, combining carving and painting in a clearly sculptural form.

A striking and larger example within the creative Kokeshi tradition.
The combination of carving and painting creates a rich surface without becoming overwhelming.

The closed, partially hidden facial expression, combined with the hood-like form, gives the piece a calm yet powerful presence.

Works by Aramaki Kyōhō are less commonly encountered, especially in this size, making this piece particularly interesting for those looking for a Kokeshi with more presence.

A characterful object that stands strong both as a decorative and sculptural piece.
