Traditional Kokeshi, also known as "dento" Kokeshi, are simple wooden dolls that have been crafted in Japan for centuries. They have a cylindrical shape with a round head and are often decorated with hand-painted floral motifs. Originally made as toys for children, Kokeshi dolls are now also cherished as decorative objects and collectibles.
