Kokeshi 162
Umeka (Plum Blossom Fragrance) / Made by Akitsugu Tanaka / Winner of the All Japan Kokeshi Doll Contest and the 21st Kokeshi Doll Contest
Tanaka-san is acknowledged as a leading member of the Sosaku movement in the 1950s-60s and is a multiple award winner. His doll “Dojo”, (Young Lady), won the Prime Minister’s Award in 1965 at the 12th Annual All Nippon Japan Kokeshi Competition. He additionally was recognized with his creation entitled: Kantsubaki, (Winter Camellia). There is little biographical data on Tanaka-san, but as researchers and collectors, we felt it was most important to represent all Sosaku Kokeshi artists, and whether or not the artist has a written account of his or her life. No dates of Tanaka-san birth or death have been recorded.
