  • Vintage Kokeshi dolls which are estimated to have been created in the between 1960 - 1970 in Tohoku, Japan.

  • Kokeshi dolls have become an icon of Japan since they reflect Japanese aesthetic sensibilities with their simple, minimalist yet elegant design.It's a very beautiful lot of traditional Tohoku region kokeshi crafted and signed.
  • Signed by artist
