"Kokeshi dolls" are traditional wooden folk toys from the Tohoku region of Japan.They are broadly categorized into three types: "Traditional Kokeshi," "New Style Kokeshi," and "Creative Kokeshi."Especially "Traditional Kokeshi" were toys for children before the advent of mass-produced industrial products. Kokeshi were played with by children as friends for games like playing house, hugging, and carrying on their backs. To make them durable and less likely to break, they were designed with a simple shape consisting only of a head and a body.These simple dolls have a history of children expanding their imaginations and living alongside them.With a gentle and soft impression emanating from their simple expressions, these dolls will bring a warm atmosphere to your room as interior decor even today.
