{"product_id":"iroume-creative-kokeshi-pair-by-takahashi-hashime","title":"Takahashi Hashime Iroume Kokeshi Pair","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis elegant Kokeshi pair is the work of the renowned artist Takahashi Hashime (1918-2002), a Sendai native who began his career as a fine arts painter and a craftsman of \"Yuzen\" silk kimono dyeing. His prestigious background is evident in the painterly designs of these dolls, which earned him the highest honor in the field, the Prime Minister’s Award. Each doll is decorated with a delicate plum branch (Ume), featuring blossoms and buds that symbolize purity, nobility, and the start of spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dolls feature Hashime-san’s trademark simple facial details, characterized by peaceful, narrow eyes and a delicately suggested mouth. Their faces are framed by minimalist black bangs and side fringes, while the bodies are encircled by a low-relief wide Obi painted in metallic bronze or gold, designed to complement the central blossom motif.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small: approx. 30.4 cm (687 g), Large: approx. 36 cm (675 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good vintage condition, no major scratches or nicks (please see images for details).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease note that all items in my shop are vintage and may show signs of age, including scratches, tarnishing, and other imperfections that add to their character.
