Kokeshi - Shido Shozan - (1932-1995)
Master Shido Shozan was born in Oita prefecture in 1932, and passed away in 1995. He moved to Tokyo for four to five years, and attended Chuo University. In 1959, he moved to Yonezawa, Yamagata prefecture, where he worked with Sanpei Yamanka, Issetsu Kuribayashi, and Murakami Kenichi. All these artisans were amazing masters of the creative kokeshi movement.
His time in Yonezawa greatly influenced his work designs with his many snow kokeshi. His designs bring out the delicate and beautiful grains of the timber with the use of few other colors. He won numerous awards including the prestigious Prime Minister Award. His kokeshi are among the most popular, and sought by collectors all over the world. These are some of his works, and like others, it is the natural wood grains and delicate features that I love about his work.
