A vintage traditional Naruko Kokeshi doll, a handcrafted wooden doll originating from the Naruko region in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan—one of the eleven official types of dentō kokeshi (traditional kokeshi). These dolls are known for their simple, elegant forms and distinctive regional painting styles.
The cylindrical body is decorated with a symmetrical floral motif, typically hand-painted with red flowers and green leaves—a signature design of Naruko kokeshi. The red border along the top and bottom of the body adds a touch of detail and color framing.
