Fujikawa Craft Creative Kokeshi Doll Large
$526.00
Description
Born in the Edo period, kokeshi dolls have long embodied wishes for well-being, prosperity, and children's growth. Today, they continue to carry blessings and encouragement, bringing happiness and peace to those we cherish.
A kokeshi doll can evoke memories—a gift from a loved one, a childhood keepsake, a reminder of family far away, or even of our past selves. Kokeshi is more than a doll; it is a connection, holding warm feelings that transcend time and space.
Gunma Prefecture boasts the largest production of creative kokeshi dolls in Japan.
The dolls are created based on the free ideas of each artist, sometimes featuring characters from anime and movies as motifs, allowing people to enjoy unique kokeshi dolls that do not fit a certain mold.
Kokeshi Dolls with Japanese taste
While creative kokeshi dolls are characterised by their freedom of form, the workshop at Fujikawa Craft emphasises the Japanese aesthetic and works to create designs that are familiar and resonate with people.
They establish a clear concept and produce dolls that are easy to pick up and appreciate.
