A stunning piece of Japanese folk art from the 1960s, this hand-carved Kokeshi doll by master artisan Sungai Sato captures the essence of June's wheat harvest. Titled Minatsuki (June), the doll embodies gratitude and tradition with its serene expression, delicate hand-painted details, and authentic chignon hairstyle. The body is decorated with a black and white floral patterned sash (obi) and a hand etched pattern of wheat stalks at the base. Standing 8.5"H x 2"W x 2"D, this exceptional example features the characteristic cylindrical form that makes Kokeshi dolls so beloved by collectors. The artist's signature stamp on the base authenticates this treasure. In excellent condition, it's a timeless addition to any vintage or Japanese art collection.
