About the Item

Embrace the rich cultural heritage of Japan with this early 20th-century Kokeshi doll, a charming and authentic representation of traditional craftsmanship.

Measuring 21 cm in height and 6 cm in diameter, this captivating Edo-style Kokeshi doll is a timeless treasure, connecting you to the enchanting world of Japanese tradition. ______ Japanese doll called Kokeshi of the early 20th century.
