Specificatii
Kokeshi from Tohoku with Love is the second edition of the best
selling book that looks at the craft and culture of kokeshi dolls.
Included are more profiles, over 50 more photos and several new
chapters. Kokeshi are the traditional dolls that are made of wood
and are characterized by their lack of arms or legs. They are
produced in the Tohoku region of Japan and were originally a
children's toy, although it is more often used as a form of
decoration nowadays and displayed in the home. Abroad, they are
considered to be an icon of Japan, and reflect Japanese aesthetic
sensibilities with their simple, elegant and minimalist designs.
Kokeshi have the appeal of imperfection and hand made exclusivity
as no two dolls are the same, each kokeshi embodies the qualities
of wood, something that is often referred to as "warmth. In fact,
for collectors, more than the freshly made kokeshi, many covet the
atmosphere of the vintage kokeshi -- rather than degrading, as with
plastic or artificial materials, the wood picks up a dewy, subdued
colour and the delicately painted features fade gracefully with
time. This book is the only English language book that looks at
this culture in depth, and is the only book with English language
interviews with the masters of the craft. The author, Manami
Okazaki, visits all 6 prefectures of Tohoku to profile 23 artisans
in the remote hot spring villages where they are made. Included are
the work and interviews with the masters to the up and coming
artists, and highlights many aesthetic theories and sensibilities
that are prevalent in contemporary design, even today. The book
also looks at Japanese hotspring culture, and Tohoku culture to
paint a holistic picture of kokeshi culture. This book will delight
fans of wooden crafts, Japanese culture and travellers to Japan.
The book gives an insight into the psychology of the craftsman, the
process of production, the motifs and the various types, which will
inform the collector. This book will also suit
