Japan. Kokeshi have gained international acclaim for their distinctive aesthetic and become popular among collectors. “Usaburō Kokeshi” is one of the best-known sosaku kokeshi makers. This kokeshi is one of the most celebrated designs by Usaburō II called “Haru no Uta” (Song of Spring). Usaburō II has received the “Prime Minister’s Award” on three occasions. “Haru no Uta” features a refined design of camellia blossoms on zelkova, a wood known for its beautiful grain. This is a 1990s vintage kokeshi, therefore, the zelkova has darkened naturally over time giving depth and character. It is in very good condition (a small scratch on the head; # 6). The script on the body is Usaburō (卯三郎 written vertically). The seal on the base confirms this kokeshi was crafted in the Usaburō workshop.
