      Hi these are indeed Kokeshi dolls. They are the traditional form, from left to right, (1) Tsugaru Kokeshi by Kojima Toshiyuki he was born in 1949 and apprenticed under the Zenji Sato (2) Naruko Kokeshi appears to be signed by Korenobu or Koretaka Kakizawa (signatures are very similar) and (3) Zao Kokeshi by Umeki Shoichi he was born in 1929 and his Master (instructor) was Buntaro Kanayama. It's a nice example of his Kokeshi with the Okappa hair design. - Hope this helps Soulportal
