Vintage Wooden Kokeshi Traditional Japanese Nodding Bobblehead Doll, Made in Japan

Elegant vintage wooden, hand turned and hand painted traditional Kokeshi doll -- nodding or bobble head style.

Kokeshi, are simple wooden Japanese dolls with no arms or legs that have been crafted for more than 150 years as a toy for children. Originally from the northeastern region of Japan, they are handmade from wood, having a simple trunk and head with a few thin, painted lines to define the face. Kokeshi represent a measure of the spirit-infused status of the wood, and they are believed to retain the material's original sacred and natural qualities.

In good vintage condition, this doll measures approximately 4-3/4" tall and is marked "Made in Japan" on the bottom.
