This elegant Kokeshi, titled Doshin (童心), is a creation by Japanese artist Masae Fujikawa. The name refers to a "childlike heart," beautifully reflected in the serene expression and gentle lines of the doll. The warm plum-red kimono is richly decorated with branches of blossom – a traditional Japanese symbol of impermanence and beauty. A true piece of Japanese refinement for those who appreciate subtle elegance and craftsmanship.
This is no ordinary Kokeshi: this piece was awarded Japan's highest honor – the Prime Minister's Award.
