Her colors are bright and well-balanced. She is made from high quality wood and is still in good condition. She comes with her original box.
Kato Tatsuo started making kokeshi in the 1960s and studied under master Sansaku Sekiguchi. He is very popular and a major award winning artisan. Tatsuo's work is always outstanding.
