Naruko Kokeshi: It is said that Naruko Kokeshi began in the Bunka-Bunsei era of the Edo Period, about 200 years ago, when people who made a living as woodworkers in the deep mountains gave kokeshi dolls to their children. Kokeshi dolls, which have long been loved by children in the deep mountain as toys, later began to be sold as souvenirs and have developed into an adults’ collecting hobby and for ornamental purposes. Naruko Kokeshi dolls representing cute young girls from Michinoku (Tohoku) have the beauty of simplified shaping expressed through the minds of their creators who live surrounded by the nature in the mountain villages. Their unique shapes and patterns have been handed down to the present day. Five types of traditional kokeshi dolls are made in Miyagi Prefecture—Naruko Kokeshi, Sakunami Kokeshi, Togatta Kokeshi, Yajiro Kokeshi, and Hijiori Kokeshi—were each designated as a National Traditional Craft Product in 1981 under the name of “Miyagi Traditional Kokeshi.”
Kokeshi (こけし, 小芥子), are simple wooden Japanese dolls with no arms or legs that have been crafted for more than 150 years as a toy for children.
Most interpretations about Kokeshi are centered around children, with some believing that Kokeshi represent the wish for a healthy child, and others that they bring children closer to the mountain spirits. Many people also agree that they were originally exchanged as tokens of friendship, with messages concealed within.
