Traditional Japanese Kokeshi Doll | Happy Buddha | Shiawase Jizo

Makes an ideal token of love and friendship for your family or friends!

This brightly coloured, beautiful wooden doll is irresistibly cute and combines a typically simple yet stylish Japanese design with a distinctive, contemporary feel. Japanese Kokeshi Dolls were originally crafted by farmers in northern Japan as toys for their children and grandchildren and are recognised as traditional Japanese folk art.

Largely handmade from cherry or mizuki trees using traditional methods, every doll is given its own name by the craftsman who lovingly created it ensuring that every doll radiates its own individual spirit.
