About👤

Takamizawa-san began crafting Sosaku Kokeshi in 1948 while living in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture. He established a studio that became a focal point for modern Creative Kokeshi making. Initially, his work featured natural wood tones with subtle wood-burning techniques and minimal paint. In the 1970s, he began incorporating more vibrant colors into his designs, further evolving his artistic style.
