Discover a piece of Japanese heritage with this authentic Usaburo Kokeshi doll from the renowned Woody Craftcollection. Handcrafted in the Gunma prefecture, this creative (Sosaku) kokeshi stands out with its intricate pyrography (wood-burning) technique rather than traditional paint.
This specific doll is a beautiful souvenir of the Nikko Toshogu Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The detailed burnt-wood imagery depicts the iconic shrine architecture surrounded by seasonal Japanese maple leaves, showcasing the natural grain of the wood under a protective smooth luster.
Perfect for collectors of Japanese folk art or as a unique Mid-Century Modern decor piece, this doll bears the original Woody Craft "Made in Japan" sticker and the signature of the Usaburo workshop.
