Her long, flowing form is defined by the natural grain of the wood, while delicate ginkgo leaf motifs decorate the front and side, introducing a subtle reference to autumn. The restrained carving and minimal facial features draw attention to the wood itself and the figure’s inward-looking pose. Through its simplicity and graceful lines, the work evokes the reflective mood of the autumn season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Japanese culture, the ginkgo leaf symbolises longevity, resilience and hope. The ginkgo tree is renowned for its extraordinary ability to survive and endure, making it a powerful emblem of strength and renewal. Its distinctive fan-shaped leaves turn a brilliant golden yellow in autumn, evoking the beauty of the changing seasons and the passage of time. The ginkgo is also closely associated with Japanese cities, particularly Tokyo, where it represents vitality and endurance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Height: 39 cm\u003cbr\u003e Diameter foot: 12 cm\u003cbr\u003e Weight: 3483 g.\u003cbr\u003e Style: Creative - Sosaku\u003cbr\u003e Signed by the Master: Yes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll our Kokeshi Art come with a Certificate of Authenticity issues by our gallery and a short bio of the kokeshi Master.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease look at the pictures carefully to assess the condition of the item.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55411517489489,"sku":"G4000014","price":3800.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0937\/3437\/1665\/files\/DSCF7977.jpg?v=1792599861","url":"https:\/\/kokeshigallery.com\/products\/autumn-thoughts-aki-so-by-toa-sekiguchi-%e9%96%a2%e5%8f%a3%e6%9d%b1%e4%ba%9c-1942-39-cm","provider":"Kokeshi Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
