Item Description Miyakawa Kunio (1933–)This exquisite sosaku kokeshi (creative kokeshi doll) was crafted by Miyakawa Kunio, one of Gunma Prefecture's most celebrated modern kokeshi artists and a recipient of the prestigious Prime Minister's Award. The doll embodies the hallmarks of Miyakawa's signature style: a dramatically lacquered black body evoking the elegance of a formal kimono, adorned with vibrant hand-painted camellia blossoms (tsubaki) in warm pinks accented with golden outlines against the deep black ground. The serene face features gently closed eyes with delicately rendered lashes and a subtly painted red nose, conveying a timeless sense of quiet grace and feminine beauty. The distinctive double-sphere head — a small orb atop a larger rounded head — is a refined sculptural touch characteristic of Miyakawa's creative vision. Authenticated on the base with the official gold certification seal inscribed "" (Prime Minister's Award-winning work, made by Miyakawa Kunio), this piece represents a rare opportunity to own a significant work from a master of Japan's modern kokeshi tradition.SizeHeight: 17.5 cmWidth: 6 cmDepth: 6 cmWeight216 gConditionIn overall good condition with minor signs of age-related wear; some light surface scuffs and faint crackling in the painted finish are visible upon close inspection, consistent with careful home storage.Artist Profile Miyakawa Kunio (1933–) was born in Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture, and began creating sosaku (creative/modern) kokeshi dolls around 1948. A pioneering figure in the Gunma kokeshi tradition, Miyakawa developed a distinctive style defined by deep black lacquer grounds, expressive hand-painted floral motifs — particularly camellias — and refined sculptural forms that blend modernist sensibility with the warmth of traditional Japanese folk craft. He is a member of the Japan Kokeshi Craft Association and has received the highest honors in competitive kokeshi exhibitions, most notably the Prime Minister's Award at the All-Gunma Modern Kokeshi Competition. His works are widely collected as outstanding examples of 20th-century Japanese decorative woodcraft.NOITICE:The lot will be carefully packaged and sent by Japan Post, DHL or FedEx depend on the situation.It takes about 3 weeks to receive normally.Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost.These charges are the buyer's responsibility.Sometimes Customes or delivery company in your country contact you for Customs clearance via phone or email.
