A delicate and richly colored vintage Kokeshi doll from Japan with a gentle expression and traditional form. The face is hand-painted with closed, smiling eyes, arched eyebrows, and a small red mouth. The black hair features short bangs and is adorned with red ribbon motifs on each side.

The body is decorated with a dense sequence of horizontal stripes in red, purple, black, and natural wood tones. The colors vary in saturation, and visible signs of brushwork and aging give the figure a warm and authentic feel. The base features a beautiful hand-painted signature in black ink. The head is slightly loose, which is common in older Kokeshi dolls.

This doll shows notable patina and signs of wear, which add to its rustic charm and authenticity as a piece of Japanese folk art. A soulful, collectible piece for any design enthusiast or collector.
