Japan’s Kokeshi Dolls.
Kokeshi are Japanese dolls originally from northern Japan. They are handmade from wood, have a simple trunk and an enlarged head with a few thin, painted lines to define the face. One characteristic of kokeshi dolls is their lack of arms or legs. They were originally a toy for a small child and generally have thin terminal areas. Today they are widely collected and variations are numerous. Our early and choice examples were acquired from private Japanese- American collections.
We have been dealing in authentic Japanese and Chinese Fine art, antiquities, garden ornaments, contemporary art, lanterns and water basins for 25 years.
