About Vintage Kokeshi Dolls

Kokeshi dolls, originally from northern Japan, are simple wooden dolls which lack arms or legs but are painted with floral designs and thin lines to create the face. The dolls originated in the 1600s, but have thrived as an art form in Japan right up to the present day.
