Kokeshi dolls

1 Richly painted, the torso shows a landscape with calligraphy, a painted face. It is signed. Made with little use of mechanical tools. It is
very interesting doll - traditional in shape (round head and cylindrical torso), but very originally made (preserved large fragments of bark) and decorated:
a calligraphed poem, a painted mountain landscape with a bridge and a temple. Unfortunately, the content of the poem is not known. The doll is quite large - 30.5 cm and weighs quite a lot -
more than 0.6 kg. It is signed on the bottom with the signature of the artist. The age of the doll is about 50 years. It is in great condition - the colors are strong and vivid, the wood is bright, without stains. The only
imperfections are small scratches from carpentry work and a small hole at the back of the head - but this is evidence of craftsmanship, so it is rather an advantage.
2. medium doll - beautiful landscape painted on the torso, face painted. Signed on the underside. Height 23 cm . This is a beautiful, authentic Japanese craft, handmade and painted. This doll is in a similar style to the previously described kokeshi (also has a painted landscape and a calligraphed poem on it) but is much older is at least 80 years old.
