KOKESHI or wooden dolls are distinctive folk toys that originate from northern Japan.
Handmade from Cherry or Mizuki wood, the unique dolls come with a simple trunk and an enlarged head with few thin, painted lines to note the face, while the body is decorated with floral designs in red, black or gold, sometimes even green.
