This is a traditional style of Tsugaru kokeshi doll, which is called Koubei style, by ABO, Masafumi who is a Tsugary style kokeshi craftsman.

The ‘Koubei style’ means copying as an homage Koubei SAITOU’s (1890-1943) dolls.

Traditional style kokeshi craftsmen learn from the old kokeshi dolls by copying them. Masafumi said that his Koubei style kokeshi’s expression has sharper eyes than the classic doll. Her strong face represents the changing position of women in modern times.

We can feel the atmosphere of each era from the simple wooden doll.
