Kokeshi Dolls



Kokeshi dolls from award winning artists!  Kokeshi dolls are a traditional doll which have been produced in Japan since the 1600's.  The kokeshi are today recognised as one of the traditional crafts of Japan and attract collectors from all over the world who appreciate their quirky, vibrant and individual nature.  Because there are thousands of kokeshi dolls available a unique collection is easily built up over a number of years.

Kokeshi Doll Information


The kokeshi are still made using the traditional methods that were used centuries ago; the wood is left to season outside for up to five years before it is carved into a doll shape.  Once this is done, the kokeshi dolls are polished using rice plants before being hand painted with vibrant inks.  When the painting has been completed the kokeshi are then waxed so as to emit a soft glow.

Kokeshi tradition has it that each doll is named after the artist which created it.  This ensures that each Kokeshi doll is unique and, with some research, one could perhaps find the artist that created their particular kokeshi!


We sell only genuine Japanese Kokeshi dolls handmade by our award-winning artists from Adachi-ku, Tokyo.  Unlike many cheaper alternatives found in high street stores these dolls are not mass produced and have been carved and hand-painted by our talented Kokeshi artists.  So, if you would like a little piece of genuine Japanese artistry in your home, then these dolls would be perfect!

However, for peace of mind we offer a full money back guarantee on all the items we supply. So, if you change your mind for any reason you will receive a 100% refund.
