This is a vintage Naruko style kokeshi doll, by Yoshihiro SATO (1936-2015) who was a Naruko style kokeshi craftsman.

According to the note by the previous owner on the bottom, this kokeshi was made around 2002, which is the 14th year of the Heisei era in Japan.

The bold eyebrows and eyes give a sharp image to this kokeshi doll.

Due to age, this kokeshi has discolouration and spots.

The small items are not included in the product.
