Flower Child (Hanawakame) 花童女, by Watanabe Yuji (渡辺雄二), features a compact, sculptural form dressed in a richly decorated red kimono. Stylised flowers in warm yellow and muted green adorn the garment, complemented by intricate floral medallions and a geometric pattern at the centre. The dark, smoothly carved hair frames the serene face, while the rounded sleeves give the figure a strong, distinctive silhouette. The contrast between the bold colours, detailed ornamentation and restrained facial features reflects Watanabe’s expressive approach to creative kokeshi, combining traditional Japanese textile motifs with a striking, sculptural presence.
