13AIDA SEIHO (相田 晴峰) A simple yet elegant Kokeshi doll design by this artist. The natural wood grain flowing like bangs across the forehead delicately beveled to contour the face & bring it into focus inviting the viewer to explore further. The eyes are drawn to the long ponytail braids that lean against the slender, cylindrical body form of the doll. The body is delicately engraved with a stunning, wavy, wood chatter, technique that showcases the artisans skill. Three sets of engraved lines are strategically placed along the body, almost as if to give it a sense of movement. The heads' wood grain was carefully selected & placed to give the illusion of hair strands delicately falling into neatly tied braids. The facial features are soft & minimal, two lines slightly tilted inward, & wood burned onto the face with a tiny set of lips just barely visible. A subtle yet youthful design. This doll is made of enju wood it stands 15 inches tall and is steadied by a wooden base.

15AIDA SEIHO (相田 晴峰) 10.5 in Title: Michi noku - Snow Country stands 10.5 inches tall. There are two sizes of this doll a smaller one is also made. The doll is made of 3 pieces of wood. The bottom the coat and the head. Not clearly visible in a picture, but upclose, the jacket opening covers the long thin wooden piece that holds the head in place, it is essentially hollow which is why you see this dark centered opening. I did not initially like this feature but it has grown on me.
