Japanese kokeshi doll, made from turned wood, 8.5 cm, with a hand-painted rokuro design
The stripes covering this kokeshi are not printed: each one is applied with a brush whilst the wood is still turning on the lathe. The design is, in fact, named after this technique, rokuro moyō, ‘the lathe pattern’: each line represents a single brushstroke on this 8.5 cm Japanese wooden doll. The head, meanwhile, bears the hallmarks of the Yajiro lineage: the coloured lines forming a sort of headdress, and the two red accents of the tegara, an ornament once worn in Japanese hairstyles. Place it on a shelf, and a connoisseur will immediately recognise its origins and appreciate the weight of tradition it embodies.
