    Biography:

    Fumio Kakizaki was born on May 23, 1947, in Shiroki Castle (now Koyanishi Omori Ko), Inawashiro Town, Yama District, Fukushima Prefecture, as the eldest son of Zenroku Kakizaki. His father, Zenroku, worked at the sulfur mines in Numajiri. The Kakizaki family had a marital connection with the Iwamoto family.

    At the age of 17, in 1964, Fumio became an apprentice to Yosozō Iwamoto. However, due to Yosozō\'s declining health, in 1965, he was introduced by collector Ko Ono to Naruko’s Kōkame, where he apprenticed under Takeo and Shogo Takahashi. After working there until November 1967, he returned to Shiroki Castle and resumed his apprenticeship with Yosozō Iwamoto. In April 1968, he built a new workshop and began creating kokeshi dolls independently, initially making kokeshi in the style of Naruko\'s Kōkame.

    After 1970, with Yosozō Iwamoto\'s permission, Fumio started making the \"Takobo\" type kokeshi of Nakanosawa and stopped producing Naruko-style dolls. During this period, the sulfur mine where his father worked had closed, and his mother had to work in Urabandai. As a result, young Fumio needed to quickly establish his business to support his family.

    Fumio Kakizaki has since continued to devote himself to kokeshi Used

About Kokeshi

Kokeshi are traditional Japanese wooden dolls, characterized by their simple yet elegant design. They originated in the Tohoku region of Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). These dolls are made from wood and typically feature a simple cylindrical body with a rounded head. Here are some key aspects of Kokeshi dolls:

Types of Kokeshi
  1. Traditional Kokeshi (Dento Kokeshi)

    • These are the original forms of Kokeshi, handcrafted and typically passed down through generations of artisans.
    • They are classified into several regional styles, each with its own unique features and patterns, such as Naruko, Tsuchiyu, Yajiro, and others.
    • The designs often include hand-painted floral or geometric patterns, and the dolls are usually left unvarnished.
  2. Creative Kokeshi (Shingata Kokeshi)

    • These emerged after World War II and allow for more artistic freedom.
    • Unlike traditional Kokeshi, they are not restricted by regional styles or patterns, leading to a variety of innovative designs and forms.
    • They may include more elaborate decorations, different shapes, and varnished style=\"border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; --tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-pan-x: ; --tw-pan-y: ; --tw-pinch-zoom: ; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-gradient-from-position: ; --tw-gradient-via-position: ; --tw-gradient-to-position: ; --tw-ordinal: ; --tw-slashed-zero: ; --tw-numeric-figure: ; --tw-numeric-spacing: ; --tw-numeric-fraction: ; --tw-ring-inset: ; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-blur: ; --tw-brightness: ; --tw-contrast: ; --tw-grayscale: ; --tw-hue-rotate: ; --tw-invert: ; --tw-saturate: ; --tw-sepia: ; --tw-drop-shadow: ; --tw-backdrop-blur: ; --tw-backdrop-brightness: ; --tw-backdrop-contrast: ; --tw-backdrop-grayscale: ; --tw-backdrop-hue-rotate: ; --tw-backdrop-invert: ; --tw-backdrop-opacity: ; --tw-backdrop-saturate: ; --tw-backdrop-sepia: ; --tw-contain-size: ; --tw-contain-layout: ; --tw-contain-paint: ; --tw-contain-style: ; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; padding: 0px 0px 0px 1.625em;\">
    • Materials: Made from different types of wood, such as cherry, dogwood, or chestnut, each providing a distinct texture and finish.
    • Construction: Traditionally, Kokeshi dolls are lathe-turned and hand-painted. The head is often a separate piece attached to the body.
    • Design: Typically, the dolls have no arms or legs. The facial features are simple, often just eyes and a mouth, with minimal detail.
    • Sizes: They come in various sizes, from a few inches to over a foot tall.
    Cultural Significance
    • Symbolism: Kokeshi dolls are often associated with protection against evil and are believed to bring good luck. They are sometimes given as gifts for good fortune or to comfort someone who is grieving.
    • Craftsmanship: The making of Kokeshi dolls is a respected art form, with many artisans dedicating their lives to perfecting their craft. Each region\'s style represents its unique cultural heritage.
    • Modern Appeal: While rooted in tradition, Kokeshi dolls have seen a resurgence in popularity, appealing to both collectors and those interested in traditional Japanese art and culture.
    Collecting Kokeshi
    • Authenticity: Collectors often seek traditional Kokeshi made by renowned artisans, each piece often signed and dated.
    • Value: The value of a Kokeshi doll can vary greatly depending on its age, condition, and the reputation of the artist.
    • Display: They are commonly displayed in homes, both as decorative items and as symbols of cultural pride.

    Kokeshi dolls embody a blend of simplicity and elegance, making them cherished items in Japanese culture and a fascinating subject for collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.
