Kokeshi dolls


Kokeshi dolls (Japanese wooden dolls)

Kokeshi doll is made of solid wood. It is one of the most famous Japanese dolls. The production technique is of the potter's wheel and has been handed down from teacher to pupil.

Kokeshi is the most famous Japanese wooden doll around the world and is sold as souvenir all over Japan.

My younger daughter, Fur bought this collectible set of three Kokeshi dolls on her visit to Japan in 2008. Cute, aren't they?
