FUMIO TOMIDOKORO (1948-) Bio & Awards Fumio Tomidokoro was born in 1948 in Gunma-Machi (today part of Takasaki city). He's been a kokeshi artist for over 50 years now and serves as the head of the creative kokeshi artist association. He uses the lovely tones of keyaki wood (zelkova) to bring the warmth out of his kokeshi dolls. He compliments that warmth with cute & elegant carvings and decorations, often featuring winter and nature motifs such as wind by using the natural wood pattern and hair carving to match the overall direction of the wood pattern. He sometimes decorates his kokeshi dolls using scarfs or depicting them being wrapped in blanket. Shipping: We choose EMS or Japan Post to ship items.
