Creative Kokeshi “Hidamari” by Sekiguchi Tōa (関口東亜) | 16.5 cm

This Kokeshi was created by Sekiguchi Tōa (関口東亜), a well-established artist within the sōsaku Kokeshi tradition. His work is known for its soft shapes and warm, approachable character.

Some pieces simply feel… warm. This is one of them.

The name Hidamari, a sunlit spot, fits perfectly. The soft shape, calm expression, and warm red tones give this Kokeshi a comforting, almost homely presence.

The floral patterns add a sense of movement without overwhelming the design. Everything remains balanced and easy on the eye.

What makes this piece special is how natural it feels. It doesn't try to impress, yet it lingers. A Kokeshi you won't grow tired of, and one that quietly settles into its space.
