    The Artisan: Usuki Hakuhō (薄 白峯)

    Usuki Hakuhō is one of those sōsaku kokeshi artisans who developed a very personal style in the second half of the Shōwa eraseasonal pattern all around the bust.

    🦝 What we love at KOGEDO

    Its large size of 31 cm, unusual for this type of omiyage kokeshi.

    The very beautifully painted hagi & susuki autumn motif, accompanied by a poem, very Japanese and full of symbolism.

    A very beautiful Sendai souvenir Kokeshi illustrating its magnificent autumn nature!
