This is a Dento-traditional style of Naruko kokeshi, by Yoshinobu KAKIZAWA 柿澤是伸(1974-) in Miyagi prefecture of Tohoku, Japan.
The bold, slightly curved body and the gorgeous flower patterns are the characteristics of Nauko kokeshi dolls.
Kakizawa says he thinks about the honest and nostalgic expression of traditional Naruko kokeshi and how craftsmen made those dolls. He always gives time and effort when making these calm and simple style dento kokeshi dolls. (Traditional is ‘dento' in Japanese.)
