[Vintage] Traditional Kokeshi Yajiro Style by Craftsman Tamio Niyama

*This product is a vintage item from the early Heisei period. It is not a new product, so please be careful if you are looking for a new item.

This kokeshi doll was crafted in the 1990s by Tamio Niiyama, an artisan of the traditional Yajirō style from Miyagi, Japan. Her softly rounded face and gentle expression feel as if she’s quietly watching over you, bringing a sense of calm the moment you look at her. The red and black hand‑painted patterns reflect the simple yet strong character of the Yajirō tradition, giving the doll a warm, folk‑art charm that feels both timeless and inviting.
Carved from a single piece of wood and finished entirely by hand, each kokeshi is truly one of a kind. This piece carries the sincerity of Japanese craftsmanship and the enduring beauty of traditional folk art. Around the world, Yajirō kokeshi are appreciated as peaceful, heart‑soothing accents for the home. Placed on a shelf or desk, she brings a gentle warmth and a quiet touch of color to everyday life.
