Vintage Japanese Kokeshi Ōkura – mobile ring

Elegant vintage Japanese kokeshi doll, from the Ōkura workshop (Hachiōji, Tokyo), famous for its creations known as Tokyo Kokeshi with clean lines and refined details. Turned from carefully varnished light wood, this kokeshi features a hand-painted floral decoration in shades of pink and green, symbolising softness and renewal. A rare and sought-after feature: a movable ring sculpted from the same piece of wood, called the Happiness Ring (wa, 輪), symbolising happiness and protection. A true artisan feat, this technique showcases the craftsmanship of Japanese turners. Her face, painted with a delicate and minimalist stroke, expresses a typically Japanese serenity, balancing simplicity and poetry. A red stamp under the base attests to her artisanal origin. A charming decorative piece, perfect for displaying on a shelf or sideboard to bring a zen, poetic, and artisanal touch to your interior.
