This piece is particularly special due to a rare, autobiographical inscription on the bottom, where the master noted his age (57 years) at the time of creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe design follows the historical formal characteristics of the old master Minosuke, characterized by a slender, stepped body and an elegant cylindrical base. The head is decorated with a refined red halo motif (Tehen), while the face displays a cheerful, expressive look. The body is masterfully painted with layered red chrysanthemums (Kiku) and blue-green leaves. On the bottom, next to Yoshio's signature, is the rare inscription '五十七才', which makes this object a personal and collectible document within his oeuvre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe object is in very good vintage condition. Over the years, the wood has developed a warm, natural patina, and the colors have remained stable and bright. The slender construction is completely intact, making this an excellently preserved masterpiece for the serious collector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 20px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eObject\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003eDento Kokeshi (Togatta style)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtisan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003eYoshio Ogasawara (小笠原義雄)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003eTogatta-lineage (遠刈田系)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDating\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003eapprox. 1987\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003eNative Japanese wood (Mizuki)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003e15 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003e3 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeature\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 8px;\"\u003eAutobiographical age indication (57 years)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"1stbuddha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57561015124299,"sku":"647-9","price":101.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/6170\/5547\/files\/togatta-kokeshi-yoshio-ogasawara-1987.jpg?v=1781257170","url":"https:\/\/1stbuddha.com\/products\/authentic-vintage-togatta-kokeshi-yoshio-ogasawara-autobiographical-item","provider":"1stbuddha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
