Set of 2 vintage sosaku Kokeshi in exceptional condition, crafted by the renowned artist Yamanaka Sanpei.

He won numerous awards (around twenty), including the Ministry of Education prize at the All Nippon Modern Kokeshi exhibition in 1979. Dimensions: H 16 x D 7.5 cm H 9 x D 5.5 cm A rare lot of absolute elegance. Please refer to the photos for more details. They are now genuine collectibles. Tracked and insured shipping.
