Vintage Kokeshi Doll Kinio Miyakawa Miyagi Award Artist Black Floral 5”

Vintage Japanese kokeshi doll handcrafted from wood and finished in a sleek black kimono-style design with hand-painted floral details. This piece is attributed to Kinio Miyakawa (宮川邦夫), a recognized kokeshi artist, and retains its original base label identifying it as a traditional craft work from Miyagi Prefecture. The label also notes the artist as a recipient of the Prime Minister’s Award, reflecting a higher level of craftsmanship within Japanese kokeshi production. The doll has a smooth, hand-turned form and a calm, minimalist expression, blending traditional technique with a more modern decorative style. It is in very good preowned condition with a clean finish and no cracks or structural issues. A beautiful and collectible example of Japanese folk art from an award-recognized maker.

Preowned and in very good condition. The finish is clean and well preserved with no cracks, chips, or structural issues observed. The original base label remains intact and clearly legible. Light, typical signs of handling may be present but nothing that detracts from display.
