"Kokeshi dolls" are traditional wooden dolls from the Tohoku region.They are mainly classified into three categories: "Traditional Kokeshi," "New Kokeshi," and "Creative Kokeshi."In particular, "Traditional Kokeshi" were children's toys before the advent of industrial products. Because kokeshi were played with as friends—used in playing house, held, or carried on children's backs—they were made in a simple form consisting only of a head and a torso to ensure they were difficult to break.These are dolls with a long history, through which children expanded their imaginations while living alongside these simple figures.With a gentle and soft impression found within its rustic expression, this doll will surely bring a warm atmosphere to your room as interior decor even in this modern age.
* Please note that the color of the product photos may differ from the actual color depending on the viewing environment, such as your computer or smartphone.* The product for sale is the kokeshi doll only. Accessories are not included.
**Handling Instructions:*** Because the faces and patterns of kokeshi are painted with water-based dyes, they are very sensitive to water. To avoid color fading, please wipe them with a dry cloth when cleaning.* The kokeshi body is made of wood. Please enjoy it while avoiding sudden dryness, direct sunlight, or proximity to heating appliances such as air conditioners. Additionally, please be aware that mold may grow in locations with high humidity.
