Vintage RARE Japanese Zodiac Dragon- Ryujin) Kokeshi from Sato Kouson
Height 35 cm
Sato Kouson’s (also known as Komura) kokeshi is easy to recognize. On special occasions she has created Zodiac characters like this one, which is quite rare and valued as a symbol of good luck. Komura was afraid to create very large dolls, in which her work distances itself from other artists of the creative genre with a bold approach to both form and graphics.
Most kokeshi of this type are aimed at children, with some believing that kokeshi add playfulness to a child's life and bring children closer to the traditions and folk tales of Japan. Many people also agree that they were originally exchanged as a sign of friendship, many, as in the case of this doll, had sayings or wishes based on the purpose of the gift.
