Kisekae Kokeshi Dolls “KOKETSU
I love the simple and adorable kokeshi dolls, a Japanese folk craft.
When I created Kisekae Kokeshi digitally, I wanted to make it a three-dimensional work, so I made a handmade wooden Kokeshi doll.
At first it was difficult to draw on a wooden ball, but I was so happy when I finished that I have continued to make handmade dolls.

When I was a child, I liked to take toys apart to see how they worked. I used to get angry when I couldn’t put them back together.
Koketsch can be replaced by removing and replacing parts, and can be enjoyed by changing its decorations, head, and body.
The total length of this small kokeshi is about less than 9 cm. Since they are hand-painted, each kokeshi has a different expression.

Currently, we are participating in exhibition events and selling them on Creema, an online handmade store.

These are my works when I started making kokeshi dolls.
