Kokeshi – Kijiyama

There are 11 types of traditional kokeshi dolls on display at the Dolls Museum.

This photo is called “Kijiyama”.

Kokeshi born in Akita, there are actually three types of kokeshi dolls.

The first one is made from a single tree, the second one is staggered in the head and torso, and the third one is firmly attached to the head and torso.

Kijiyama is made from a single tree, and the head and torso are not separated.

There are many topics even if you take one kokeshi doll.

The Doll Museum will guide you with these, so we hope you enjoyed it.
