This kokeshi by Watanabe Masao depicts a woman dressed in a traditional kimono, her serene expression framed by long, flowing hair and a simple bow. The title 宮参り (Miyamairi), meaning “Visit to the Shrine,” evokes the Japanese tradition of visiting a Shinto shrine, often associated with important family occasions and prayers for health and wellbeing. Her formal attire, composed posture and quiet expression suggest such a ceremonial visit, while the delicate floral motifs on her kimono add a refined touch to the warm, natural wood.
