Rather than belonging to one of the strict traditional kokeshi lineages, this piece was likely created as a regional souvenir and literary keepsake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts most distinctive feature is the handwritten poem running vertically down the body. The inscription is a famous tanka by Ishikawa Takuboku 石川啄木, one of Japan’s best-known modern poets and a native of Iwate Prefecture. The poem appears in his celebrated collection Ichiaku no Suna 一握の砂 (A Handful of Sand):\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe poem evokes the soft greening of willow trees along the Kitakami River, a landscape deeply associated with Iwate. This connection between Takuboku, the Kitakami River, and the doll’s regional origin gives the piece a particularly strong sense of place and nostalgia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe restrained design, muted palette, and visible age give the doll a strong wabi-sabi character. Surface fading, small marks, and patina remain visible and contribute to its authentic vintage appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 3 x 3 x 13cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58718617043275,"sku":"K15183","price":16.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/Cover_28d1e804-56fb-4edc-9c8e-c218935e518e.jpg?v=1791255672","url":"https:\/\/fr.maisonkyo.be\/fr\/products\/k15183-omiyage-kokeshi-from-iwate-%e5%b2%a9%e6%89%8b-1","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
