Kokeshi are traditional Japanese wooden dolls characterized by their simple, cylindrical bodies and large heads. Originating from the Tohoku region of Japan, Kokeshi dolls date back to the early 19th century and were originally crafted by artisans known as "kijiya," who made them as toys for children and as souvenirs for visitors to hot spring resorts.
