Vintage Traditional Narugo Ejiko Kokeshi by Akira Kon

Sold

Dimensions: 2-3/4”h x 2-7/8” dia.

Offered is an extremely rare Narugo Ejiko by master Akira Kon. It is a very simple representation of the Ejiko with a motif/stripings regularly seen at festivals. Additionally, it has the Rokoru Moya circular lifework around its collar. Bangs set wide apart are the definitive feature of the head with a red bow on the top and side hair fringes on each side of its face, along with the standard single eyelid, and a cat nose. Though these basically plain dolls are not as decorative as others of the Traditional school, they’re unique, flowing visual forms.

Retains the original craft/workmanship showing a wonderfully-developed patina commensurate with age and unrestored. Each piece meets all the standards of Traditional Kokeshi Ejiko collectibles and is an exceptional piece for the collectors of Narugo Family dolls.
