The Kokeshi dolls are simple wooden dolls with no arms or legs that have been crafted for more than 150 years as a toy for children in Japan. They are handmade from wood, have a simple trunk and head with a few thin, painted lines to define the face. The body often has floral and/or ring designs painted in red, black, and sometimes green, purple, blue, or yellow inks, and covered with a layer of wax.
We think they make great lamp bases and complement our new Kimono Collection well.
