Undetermined Artist  What we know so far: This Kokeshi is depicting Shosuke Ohara who lived about 200 years ago. He loved sleeping late, hot springs baths and, of course, sake. He was gregarious, generous and famous for his extravagant merry making. A folk song was even written about him. This doll has his beloved sake bottle, a towel on his shoulder and a smile on his face.  Undetermined Artist  Can you help identify this Artist? What we know so far.
