    Tsugio Sato (1908–1978)
    Lineage: Yajiro

    Master: Kan-nai Sato

    Disciples: Hayao Sato, Minao Sato

    Biography:

    Tsugio Sato was born on January 25, 1908, in Yajiro, Hanomiya, Fukuoka Village, Katta District, Miyagi Prefecture, as the second son of Kan-nai Sato and Fuyo. His mother, Fuyo, was the third daughter of Nishiro Takako of Shiroishi. His uncle was Den-nai Sato, his elder brother was Masao Sato, and his younger brother was Minoru Sato.

    After graduating from elementary school, Tsugio learned woodturning from his father, Kan-nai. At the age of 19, he left the woodturning business and became a bus driver, driving the route between Shiroishi and Kamasaki. Tsugio is noted for transporting two giant kaya trees from Inako's Oku no Osawa to Shiroishi on his truck, which were requested by Shinichi Kanno, a kokeshi and Shiroishi washi paper researcher, to make drying boards for washi paper.

    After World War II, Tsugio returned to woodturning in Shiroishi but mainly produced new types of woodturning items and rarely made traditional kokeshi dolls. At the age of 63, in October 1970, he resumed creating traditional kokeshi. He passed on his woodturning skills to his sons, Minao and Hayao.

    Tsugio Sato passed away on August 13, 1978, at the age of 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.
