Collector's note – descriptive qualities, standard characteristics & ornamentation styles:

Trained as a traditional Kijiyama artist from Akita-ken, Yuzawa-shi. He studied under Master Kokeshi Artists, Onodera, Tokuichi and Inagawa, Akita. In celebration of the Japanese Plum, each doll has been beautifully ornamented with the branches celebrating spring’s arrival. These tall and slender figures complement the incorporation of the tree branches reaching for the sun. Thin lines of the branches, combined with thinner internal lines, and the colorful flowers, define the three-dimensional shape.
