This sculptural Kokeshi set by Masao Watanabe (渡辺正雄) carries the quiet strength so characteristic of his work. The two figures form a restrained parent-and-child composition, centred around simplicity, closeness and stillness.
The rounded heads, soft facial expressions and rough, earthy texture give the set a distinctly tactile presence. The subdued brown tones and visible surface structure emphasise the natural quality of the wood, while the white cord details add a subtle rhythm to the composition.
The title "Mushin" refers to a state of openness and clarity, a mind free from distraction or unnecessary noise. In this set, that idea is expressed beautifully: nothing is loud or excessive, yet the emotional presence is strong.
A poetic and minimalist Kokeshi set for lovers of Japanese craftsmanship, wabi-sabi and objects with a quiet, warm presence.
