A traditional Japanese folk toy, the kokeshi doll is a wooden figure carved from a single piece of wood. Its slender neck and legs are often adorned with intricate designs, while its body is typically dressed in a vibrant kimono. These ornaments were originally handmade by local artisans for use as gifts or tokens of appreciation during special occasions such as weddings and tea ceremonies. Each kokeshi doll tells the story of its creator's skill and craftsmanship, making them treasured keepsakes that have become synonymous with Japanese culture.
