Small Japanese kokeshi doll carved from a single piece of wood using the tsukuritsuke technique, 6 cm, rokuro design
The head and body of this kokeshi are carved from a single piece of wood. This process is known as tsukuritsuke and is unusual within the Yajiro tradition, where the head is usually turned separately and then inserted into the body. Here, nothing is joined together, so nothing can be replaced: the head cannot be repaired without remaking the entire doll. Turn it over and you will find the craftsman’s signature, painted with a brush, within a small circle carved beneath the base. Small in size, great in heritage: this Japanese wooden doll embodies Tōhoku craftsmanship passed down from master to apprentice for nearly two centuries.
Below is a video illustrating the Kokeshi-making process (the model shown in the video is not the same as the one on sale).
