According to Wikipedia, Kokeshi (こけし ,kokeshi?), are Japanese dolls, originally from northern Japan. They are handmade from wood, have a simple trunk and an enlarged head with a few thin, painted lines to define the face. The body has a floral design painted in red, black, and sometimes yellow, and covered with a layer of wax. One characteristic of kokeshi dolls is their lack of arms or legs. The bottom is marked with the signature of the artist.
The Kokeshi doll pendants I ordered arrived last week Friday and I couldn't wait to make necklaces out of them. So far I've made 4 and more are soon to follow: I've combined each kokeshi doll with swarovski bead charms in more or less the same colour to add a little bit of sparkle. www.bijoux-nicole.com/kawaii_cute_collection.html.
