    🧑 The Artisan Mamoru Izu (伊豆護, 1925–2019)

    He is one of the most important figures in the Naruko Ginzan style. Born in Ginzan Shinhata, he comes from a lineage of wood artisans: his older brother, Izu Sadao, was trained by master Ando Reitaro. After learning turning as a self-taught craftsman, Mamoru Izu turned to kokeshi in the 1950s. He is now recognized as the Artisan behind the so-called "Oshin" kokeshi, popularized in the drama of the same name.

    Description

    This kokeshi, typical of the Ginzan-kei style, is distinguished by the subtle balance between the strength of raw wood and the delicacy of the lines. The face, painted with restraint but great finesse, displays a peaceful, almost meditative expression. The black hairstyle is marked with a red Janome pattern. The body reveals the grain and knots of the turned wood — a detail sought after by collectors who appreciate the raw materiality of vintage pieces.

    This style of kokeshi is often associated with the character of Oshin, the heroine of the cult Japanese TV series from the 1980s. In the series, a similar doll is given to her by her mother, becoming a symbol of deep attachment and transmission.

    🦝 Our opinion:

    Rare and unique Kokeshi style. We love the varnished raw wood and the magnificent grain that stands out. A truly modern collector's item!
