Traditional Japanese toys, Kokeshi are handmade wooden dolls with no arms or legs made from scraps of wood. Each doll's gorgeous features and dress are painted to reflect a region of origin or the artist's style. Modern Kokeshi may depict famous fictional characters or celebrities, which many buyers collect as souvenirs.
