About This Items- Kokeshi hand made bySanshiro Ishiyama (1909–1996)
Size 9.44 inch / 24cmSanshiro Ishiyama (1909–1996) Lineage: Zao Takayu Master: Ichiro Shinano, Masao Sato Disciples: Kazuo Ishiyama, Kenichi Ishiyama, Hiroshi Mito, Kiheiji Ishiyama was born on April 28, 1909, as the eldest son of Saburo Ishiyama, a carpenter from Ashizawa, Yamadera Village, Yamagata Prefecture. The Ishiyama family had been carpenters for two generations in Yamadera. Saburo, a highly skilled carpenter, suffered from long-term stomach issues due to his demanding work. As a result, he decided not to have his son continue as a carpenter but to have him train as a woodturner instead. After completing his studies at Yamagata Industrial School, Sanshiro requested an apprenticeship through the Odawara town office. Consequently, in the spring of 1924, at the age of 16, he became an apprentice to Ichiro Shinano in Tainochaya, Yumoto Village, Ashigarashimo District, Kanagawa Prefecture (now Hakone Yumoto, Odawara City). He often learned from Ichiro’s son, Nobukichi. The Shinano family primarily produced wooden toys, and Sanshiro mainly turned items such as nested daruma dolls, yoyos, Seven Lucky Gods, and twelve eggs. In July 1929, Sanshiro returned to Yamadera and started his own business. He learned kokeshi painting from Masao Sato, a disciple of Chojiro Okazaki from Zao Takayu. Eventually, he opened a shop within the precincts of Risshakuji Temple in Hōjusan, Yamadera. Around this time, Masao Sato retired from woodturning and passed all his tools to Sanshiro. Sanshiro married Kiku from Tendo, and they had two sons, Kenichi and Shoichi. Kenichi initially learned woodturning from Sanshiro but later changed professions. The first literature mentioning Sanshiro was the June 1937 issue of Kokeshi Tenbo, which featured two photos of his kokeshi dolls. It noted that he had learned toy-making in Hakone about 15 years prior and started making kokeshi after returning to Yamadera Village, Higashimurayama District, Yamagata Prefecture. The magazine described his work as resembling the Takayu style but with a unique charm. Later, his kokeshi were also featured in Kokeshi to Sakusha. In 1939, Sanshiro switched from a foot-operated lathe to a power lathe. In October 1945, his brother Kazuo Ishiyama became his apprentice, and in 1948, his nephew Hiroshi Mito also started training under him. In 1969, to commemorate the centennial of the Meiji era, the Yamagata Kokeshi Association, including Sanshiro and his brother Kazuo, worked on establishing a kokeshi monument. This monument was completed in October 1969 in the precincts of Hie Shrine, adjacent to Risshakuji Temple. Kenichi, Sanshiro’s eldest son, worked at an ironworks but began learning woodturning from Sanshiro in 1973 and started making kokeshi dolls. Sanshiro continued making kokeshi in Yamadera after the war and passed away on February 16, 1996, 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 KokeshiTraditional 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.
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;\">
