L’artisan : Watanabe Chūzō (渡辺忠蔵, 1921–2008)

Né en 1921 à Tsuchiyu Onsen, Watanabe Chūzō appartient à une lignée d’artisans kokeshi issue de la famille Yamane-ya. Petit-fils du maître Watanabe Sakuzō, il hérite d’un ancrage profond dans la tradition du bois.

Après une jeunesse entre travail agricole, sériciculture et mobilisation durant la guerre, il revient au Japon en 1946. Il se forme ensuite au travail du bois avant de devenir artisan indépendant en 1963.

Soutenu par le collectionneur Tsugio Shikama, il revisite des modèles anciens comme Sabako et Sakuzō, tout en développant un style personnel. Son travail est reconnu pour sa fidélité au style Tsuchiyu et surtout pour ses visages très expressifs.

Aujourd’hui, ses kokeshi sont recherchées pour leur présence forte et leur équilibre entre tradition et personnalité.

Détails :

Cette kokeshi présente les codes du style Tsuchiyu : un corps cylindrique orné de bandes rouges, et une tête marquée par un motif janome (蛇の目), l’œil du serpent.

Le visage, particulièrement réussi, est typique de Watanabe Chūzō : traits fins et très expressifs.

Les deux petits éclats sur le visage attirent l’œil sans nuire à l’esthétique. Au contraire, ils lui donnent du caractère.

🦝 On aime :

Une grande kokeshi Tsuchiyu signée, réalisée par un artisan majeur, avec un vrai caractère. Le visage typique de Watanabe Chūzō est ici particulièrement expressif. Et avec ces petits éclats qui ressemblent à des cicatrices, elle a un côté “Scarface”, presque badass ! Une kokeshi qui a vécu !

Une pièce de collection autant qu’un objet déco fort, idéale pour un intérieur sensible au wabi-sabi et à l’authenticité japonaise.

Small Valet Tray Nightstand Organizer (Black)
Color: Black, Color: Black
I really love the leather look of this valet tray. It’s both stylish and functional, giving a classy touch to my nightstand while keeping small items neatly organized. The PU leather finish feels smooth, looks high-end, and the construction feels sturdy. Pros: Elegant PU leather design with a textured finish Compact 8x8 inch size fits perfectly on nightstands, dressers, or desks Multi-purpose — great for keys, watches, jewelry, remotes, or glasses Water-resistant surface makes it easy to wipe clean Adds a decorative touch while being practical Makes a thoughtful and stylish gift Cons: The sides are a little low, so bulkier items may slide out Only available in limited colors compared to some other organizers Overall, this is a really nice valet tray. It looks more expensive than it is, keeps my essentials in one place, and adds a clean, organized look to my space. Definitely worth it if you like the leather aesthetic!

Great Tray For Storing My Everyday Carries
Size: 8.5" x 5.8" x 1.9", Color: Black
My everyday carry items (wallet, keys, etc.), used to just get thrown around wherever when I'd get home, but this little tray makes a great, defined, space for me to keep those things when I don't need them on me. The soft lining reduces the obnoxious sound of throwing keys on a hard surface, and of course keeps me from scratching up a surface. The build feels quality and I haven't seen any damage to it yet. Also the all black version with gold buckle looks quite good and adds a subtle touch of luxury. Absolute recommend for the price.
