This Kokeshi was created by Kaoru Nozawa (野沢薫), a Japanese artist working within the creative Kokeshi tradition, an established sōsaku artist with a solid reputation. Her work is characterised by a refined balance between form and decoration, with a particular sensitivity to soft colour harmonies and floral motifs.
This creative Kokeshi by Kaoru Nozawa stands out for its strong verticality and graphic presence. The interplay of soft colours, bold lines and floral motifs gives the piece a distinctive and recognisable character.
We are especially proud to present this truly unique piece from our collection — a genuine collector's item.
