SIGNED JAPANESE WOOD KOKESHI DOLL w/ LOVELY MAIKO GEISHA IN BLUE & PINK KIMONO !

Description

This auction is for a sosaku Japanese wood kokeshi doll, and measures 10" high and 8" in circumference around the head.  The artist painted a beautiful Maiko - which is a geisha-in-training.  The Maiko is wearing a lovely blue and pink kimono, as well as hair decorations.  And she's standing under a pretty summertime tree, with very faint Japanese characters on one side of her.  The kokeshi doll is wearing pink ribbons in her hair above her bangs.  There are many Japanese characters on the bottom including the artist's signature and his stamp/chop.  Please see below for flaws.
This kokeshi doll is in good vintage condition - hard to find many flaws - and would make a great addition to your growing collection.  White areas are camera glare.
Please remember that this is a vintage doll that may have minor imperfections, such as dust/dirt/dings/scratches/scuffs/age spots.
And please note the size of the doll as the pictures may make it look larger than it actually is. Due to the size and weight of this doll, the shipping cost increases quite a bit outside of the U.S.
