This unique kokeshi with wide opened eyes, was made by FUKUCHI Yoshio (1927-1985) who was a Nakanosawa style kokeshi craftsman in Tohoku, Japan.
This style of expression is lovingly nicknamed ‘Tako bouzu’, which had been a branch of Tsuchiyu kokeshi. In 2018, this kokeshi was authorized to become independent as Nakanosawa style.
The flower pattern on the body is peony (botan 牡丹). It is a characteristic of Tako bozu, along with cherry blossom (Sakura 桜).
Due to age, this kokeshi has discoloration. The small items are not included in the product.
