    Description

    This antique souvenir kokeshi perfectly embodies the charm of post-war Japan. Its painted decoration depicts a traditional Japanese landscape with a pagoda, accompanied by calligraphies evoking a poem, giving the piece a narrative dimension.

    The warm wood and hand-painting offer a simple yet elegant finish. Its face is soft and soothing, typical of Shōwa era omiyage kokeshi.

    About Omiyage Kokeshi

    Omiyage souvenir kokeshi were artisanal souvenirs sold in Japanese tourist regions between the 1950s and 1970s. Each piece, often unique, represents an emblematic place or landscape.

    Today, they captivate with their authenticity, visual poetry, and direct connection to Shōwa era Japan.

    🦝 Our opinion

    A well-made, meticulous Omiyage kokeshi, perfect for a first kokeshi as well as for a collection.
    We particularly like the flared shape of its body and its pagoda motif with calligraphy, which brings a true Japanese soul!
