History! Kokeshi (こけし, 小芥子) are simple wooden Japanesedolls with no arms or legs that have been crafted for more than 150 years as a toy for children. Originally from the Tohoku region in northern Honshu, kokeshi are handmade from wood, having a simple trunk + head with a few thin, painted lines to define the face. Since the 1950s, kokeshi makers have signed their work, usually on the bottom and sometimes on the back.
