Japanese Kokeshi Dolls : The Woodcraft and Culture of Japan’s Iconic Wooden Dolls
Manami OkazakiKokeshi are the simple and charming traditional Japanese dolls characterized by their cylindrical shape and lack of arms and legs. Historically made as children's toys in Japan's northern region of Tohoku, they have now become a popular collector's item and have even inspired famous architects and artists.

- A guide to visiting Japan's kokeshi regions
- Information on how to buy the dolls--either directly from Japanese artisans or stockists worldwide
