“Kiku” (菊) by Kuribayashi Isetsu (栗林一節) | 32.5 cm

Creative Kokeshi "Kiku" (菊) by Kuribayashi Isetsu (栗林一節) with a serene expression and subtle brushwork.

In Japan, the chrysanthemum (kiku) stands for dignity, purity and long life.
This piece embodies that symbolism in a quiet, understated way. Not through loud colours, but through calm proportion, natural wood presence and controlled line work.

"Kiku" is a statement of stillness.
A sculptural object that doesn't demand attention, but creates presence.
Perfect as a subtle centrepiece in a living room, hallway niche or curated wabi-sabi corner.
