Francisco Álvarez


In this lot we offer 28 different Sosaku and traditional kokeshi. Some have spots or scratches, 1 kokeshi has a little crack. 

The height is between 4cm and 30cm.


Kokeshi (こけし, in Japanese), are simple wooden Japanese dolls with no arms or legs that have been crafted for more than 150 years as a toy for children, now kokeshi are mainly collected by collectors worldwide.  Originally from the northeastern region (Tōhoku-chihō) of Japan, they are handmade from wood, having a simple trunk and head with a few thin, painted lines to define the face. 

Please always look carefully at the pictures to determine the condition of kokeshi.
