What is a Kokeshi doll?
Kokeshi dolls, originating from the northeastern region of Japan, have been cherished for over 150 years as children's toys. Handmade from wood that has typicaly been dried for 6 -12 months, these dolls feature a simple trunk and head with delicate painted lines to highlight the face. Typically adorned with floral and ring designs in various colours, these dolls are then coated with a layer of wax.
Traditional styles of kokeshi dolls are characterized by their long and narrow shape, an absence of arms or legs, and color patterns that have been passed down and preserved. Sosaku (creative) kokeshi, on the other hand, are another style created with free and creative ideas, without being bound to traditional or regional styles. Since the 1950s, makers have signed their kokeshi dolls, often on the bottom and sometimes on the back.
