This kokeshi doll was crafted in the 1960s–1970s by Tatsuo Satō, an artisan of the traditional Yajirō style from Miyagi, Japan. Her softly painted face has a gentle, nostalgic charm—almost as if she’s quietly offering a warm smile. The bright red patterns, a hallmark of the Yajirō tradition, bring a lively yet comforting presence, adding a touch of folk‑art beauty to her simple, elegant form.
Carved from a single piece of wood and hand‑painted with care, each kokeshi is truly one of a kind. This piece carries the sincerity of Japanese craftsmanship and the timeless appeal of traditional folk art. Around the world, Yajirō kokeshi are appreciated as calming, heartwarming accents for the home. Placed on a shelf or desk, she brings a gentle warmth and a quiet sense of comfort to everyday life.
