Creative Kokeshi “Nogiku” by Masashi Takeda (武田正志) | 18 cm

A piece with real presence.

This "Nogiku" Kokeshi by Masashi Takeda stands out through its rich wood grain and deeply carved floral motifs, which seem to emerge from within the surface itself. The warm, dark tones combined with the carved chrysanthemums create a subtle play of light and shadow that shifts as you move around it.

Its compact, almost sculptural form gives the piece a solid presence, while the soft face and rounded hairstyle bring balance and calm.

This is not a piece that fades into the background, it draws attention, quietly.
