She is wearing a bellflower hair ornament and a kimono with a dragonfly pattern.
The navy blue kimono evokes the cool autumn evening.
This is a work created by the artist Izumi.
There are many different types of kokeshi dolls.
Izumi is a leading artist of creative kokeshi dolls.
Because each one is carefully handmade, the number produced is small and each piece is rare.
Having studied Japanese painting, she sometimes uses Japanese painting pigments to color her kokeshi dolls.
As a result, the lines drawn on the kokeshi dolls are refined and beautiful, and the colors in her works have a hue reminiscent of Japanese painting.
