Shozan Shido’s 志形尚山 Early Spring (Sōshun) 早春 is a striking example of creative kokeshi, combining a robust, textured wooden body with a sculpted face framed by rounded details. A vivid panel of patterned kimono fabric adds an unexpected touch of colour, contrasting beautifully with the warm, natural wood. Shido’s highly exclusive works sometimes incorporate such pieces of coloured kimono fabric, bringing together woodturning, carving and textile artistry in a distinctive composition. The result is a refined and sculptural interpretation of early spring, balancing the simplicity of natural materials with intricate decorative detail.
