Vintage Japanese Kokeshi Doll Pair 1966 Signed w Original Box Folk Art

This authentic pair of vintage Japanese Kokeshi dolls dates to July 1966 and showcases traditional hand-crafted folk art from Japan. Each doll is carefully hand-carved from wood, hand-painted, and signed by the original artist, confirming authenticity and origin.

Kokeshi dolls are iconic symbols of Japanese craftsmanship, originating from the Tōhoku region and historically sold as souvenirs in hot spring towns. Their minimalist cylindrical forms, rounded heads, and expressive painted faces reflect a refined simplicity deeply rooted in Japanese culture.

This matching pair comes with its original Cardboard storage box, enhancing both historical value and collectibility. The natural wood grain, aged patina, and balanced proportions make them ideal for display in wabi-sabi, Japandi, or traditional interiors.

Sourced directly from a Japanese Government Antique Auction, this set represents genuine mid-20th-century Japanese folk art and is increasingly rare—especially as a signed pair with original box.
