    I have many Kokeshi's I've recently come into. Just found this site. I've not seen anything like it. It looks like two artists ? Signatures lower part of dolls ? Silk flowers.

    Wondering maker/region and general value ? Kokeshi's have bobbleheads. Looks like maybe 1950s early 1960s. Thanks

      Hi Dave, these look like Korean style wooden dolls. Often I see them listed as "Kokeshi" and some even have the "made in Japan" stamp. I am unsure of who the artist or artisans are, I have not come up with any information though I see them often. The markings in the front of the body I believe they are kanji for "Good Luck" and not the artisans signatures. -Soul
