The simplicity of the design allows the grain and warm tone of the wood to remain visible, while the rhythmic black lines create a strong graphic quality. The oversized head and elongated body give the piece a particularly striking silhouette, characteristic of the inventive freedom found in post-war shingata and creative kokeshi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSasaki Katsumi was based in Shiroishi City, Miyagi Prefecture, an important center for the development of Shingata Kokeshi, or new-style creative kokeshi. He began learning woodturning and painting in Shiroishi in 1948, later establishing his own workshop and developing a distinctive style that balanced traditional kokeshi techniques with more modern proportions and decorative expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe founded what is now known as the Sasaki Kokeshi Studio (佐々木こけし工房). The workshop continues today under the second generation, Sasaki Isao (佐々木功), together with his wife Miho, preserving the family’s tradition of handcrafted shingata kokeshi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 8 x 8 x 24cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/maisonkyo.be\/search?q=%E4%BD%90%E3%80%85%E6%9C%A8%E5%85%8B%E5%B7%B1\u0026amp;options%5Bprefix%5D=last\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore works by Sasaki Katsumi 佐々木克巳\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"≈25cm","offer_id":58231098310987,"sku":"K25218","price":36.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/Cover_2375f77b-2046-4dd9-929f-6af5697478e9.jpg?v=1787473433","url":"https:\/\/fr.maisonkyo.be\/fr\/products\/k25218-sosaku-shingata-by-sasaki-katsumi-%e4%bd%90%e3%80%85%e6%9c%a8%e5%85%8b%e5%b7%b1","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
