What are Kokeshi
Kokeshi are wooden dolls originally from Northern Japan. They are considered a traditional folk art and are created using techniques and styles that have been handed down over the generations. Kokeshi are recognized for their simple, minimalist designs and were initially made as a child's toy. They have since become recognized as a souvenir for the hot springs as well as a decoration for the home. Kokeshi are skillfully carved on a lathe and then delicately hand painted. Since we live in a time of mass production, many appreciate kokeshi specifically because they are crafted by an artisan. Being made by hand, they are imperfect and no two are exactly the same. This only adds to their charm. These dolls also seem to have a calming effect with their often peaceful, unassuming, and almost wise facial expressions.
Kokeshi fall into two different categories: Traditional, known as Dento Kokeshi and Creative/Modern, known as Sosaku Kokeshi.
