This striking kokeshi by master artisan Shido Shozan (志田昭山) reflects his signature modernist interpretation of traditional craft. With its elongated, sculptural form and minimalist features, the piece radiates quiet grace and dignity. The flowing silhouette and subtle green obi evoke the rhythm of a dancer caught in motion.
Shozan's works are celebrated for their refinement and artistic innovation, and this piece is no exception. A rare and elegant find for collectors and admirers of Japanese design.
