Kokeschi Sosaku

About the Item

The Kokeshi are Japanese dolls, originally from the north of Japan. They are handcrafted from wood, have a simple trunk and an enlarged head with a few fine, painted lines to define the face. The body has a floral design painted in red, black and sometimes yellow and covered with a layer of wax. A feature of kokeshi dolls is the lack of arms or legs. The bottom is typically marked with the artist's signature. They are exchanged between friends with written messages stored within them as signs of friendship.
