Biographical History:
Takamizawa-san began making Sosaku Kokeshi in 1948 having lived in Takasaki City, in Gunma Prefecture, and opened his studio considered the center of modern Creative Kokeshi doll making. There is no further information on Kazuo but as historians and collectors we felt it was most important to represent all Sosaku Kokeshi artists, whether or not the artist has a written account of his or her life. Each shows the diversity of this cultural specialization and the creative work produced by this artist. Since 1971, his dolls have received numerous awards including the Prime Minister’s Prize when a doll named Akane, (included in the images of his works) was recognized for his accomplishment. In 1983, Kazoo was elected a representative of the Gunma Kokeshi Artistic Hall of Fame.
