Kokeshi with birds is one of our weak spots. This one is titled Morning Melody' and taps into my memories of morning walks where you can observe the birds flying away as you pass by. Quite peaceful mornings. Sounds of nature...
Kato Tatsuo started making kokeshi in the 1960s and studied under master Sansaku Sekiguchi. He is very popular and a major award winning artisan.
