Kokeshi are a traditional folk handcrafted Japanese doll, painted with individualistic expressions and colours. Each one can be used for interior design, a gift or as a symbol of good fortune. There are two main categories of kokeshi dolls: Traditional and Creative. Traditional kokeshi follow specific regional patterns and are crafted in 12 distinctive styles. Creative kokeshi, emerged after World War II and allow artists more freedom in shape, design, and colour, often incorporating modern or Western motifs. All kokeshi are in immaculate original condition and signed by the artist. Great as a collectible vintage item
