Kokeshi
Kokeshi are traditional wooden craft figures from Japan. They are usually small and simply designed, but very charming and elegant. They often display a simple face and an elaborately designed head supported by a circular or oval-shaped body. The Kokeshi figurines are often sold as souvenirs or keepsakes, but some people also collect them for their beauty and importance as part of Japanese culture. Most of the figures have a special meaning and are often given as gifts as talismans.
