This unique Kokeshi by Sumitani Kohji is a true wooden masterpiece. The doll radiates a warm autumnal atmosphere thanks to the deeply carved maple leaf motif – a symbol of transience and elegance in Japanese culture. The contrast between the smooth, glossy black hair and the rougher surface of the kimono creates a rich tactile effect. A remarkable example of Sumitani's craftsmanship and his love for natural themes.
The work of Sumitani Kohji is relatively rare in Europe, making it highly valued among collectors of Shingata Kokeshi.
