This striking kokeshi by Kato Masami features a distinctive sculptural form, with a deeply carved hood framing a serene face and a layered body that suggests traditional Japanese clothing. The rich, warm wood grain is central to the design, enhanced by delicate painted motifs of foliage and flowers across the garment and lower section. The contrast between the rounded volumes, precise carving and subtle decorative details gives the piece a strong sense of depth and texture, showcasing Kato Masami’s ability to transform natural wood into an expressive work of art.
