Creative Kokeshi Pair by Sato Kōson (佐藤幸尊) | 18.5 cm & 16.5 cm

This charming creative Kokeshi pair by Sato Kōson (佐藤幸尊) — one of the rare female artists within the sōsaku Kokeshi movement — captures a playful and expressive spirit in a more intimate format.

The open, bowl-shaped faces outlined with fine red accents give the figures a joyful, almost conversational presence. Bold calligraphic motifs in red and green add a graphic rhythm to the design, making the pair feel lively yet well-balanced.

A delightful interactive detail: the heads can be rotated, allowing you to subtly change their expressions and the dynamic between the two figures.
The set is presented with its original wooden base, enhancing both its display value and collectability.

Though smaller than the larger Kōson duo in the collection, this set retains the same artistic language and character — a compact yet expressive example of her work.
