The kokeshi doll is a traditional folk art form of Japan, dating back to approximately 1830. Originally made by craftsmen during the winter months for sale to tourists, they have come to symbolize Japan to people around the world. Traditional kokeshi dolls have distinctive characteristics connecting them to their specific region of origin. All traditional dolls will be made of wood with a slender body, roundish head, handpainted features and no arms or legs.

Creative kokeshi dolls are those not made in the traditional styles and with no specific guidelines for shape, design, size or subject. The variety of kokeshi dolls available make them the perfect collectible to keep or give as a special gift!

Most of our kokeshi dolls date from the last half of the 20th century. As with most of our inventory, these dolls are previously owned and may show signs of wear, age and use as noted in the descriptions.
