Kokeshi are traditional Japanese wooden dolls with a simple cylindrical shape, a round head, often decorated with hand-painted floral motifs. Originating from the northern part of Japan, they are made from fruit trees, usually cherry wood.

The charm of kokeshi lies in their simplicity, making them valuable representations of folk art, cherished as collectibles and decorative items. Each region in Japan has its own unique style, resulting in a variety of designs and color schemes.

Kokeshi dolls carry symbolic meanings and are often given as gifts, contributing to their enduring popularity in Japanese culture and beyond.
