******About kokeshi ******

Kokeshi dolls, originally crafted as toys for children and souvenirs, have evolved into display pieces admired by adults. Each kokeshi features a simple yet elegant design—consisting of a single wooden head and body—but no two are alike. Every doll has its own distinct facial expressions and patterns.
