Kokeshi doll
These Japanese kokeshi dolls are traditionally simple in
construction, made of wood, and shaped with a cylindrical body and round head.
They originated as a child's toy in the Tohiku region of northern Japan. Kokeshi
are usually limbless and painted in bright floral designs, kimono, or in other
traditional patters. Due to its adorable looks, zealous kokeshi collectors can
now purchase the doll all over Japan. Traditional kokeshi can be classified into
probably 10 categories based on manufacturing technique, shape, and decoration.
In addition, "contemporary" kokeshi are now making the scene, incorporating
elements of modern art and sculpture. Kokeshi is now recognized as one of the traditional folk arts in Japan.
