MyKokeshi Custom Orders

Few weeks ago I made a custom Kokeshi couple for a friend of mine. His friend saw his kokeshi dolls and loved them so she asked me to make 3 custom orders for her and her friends. She provided me with 3 photographs, 3 colors for each doll and a quote for each. I love custom requests because there's fun, challenging and always original! Would you like to request for your own custom Kokeshi? If so, please contact me at [email protected]. Thank you!

Kokeshi

For those who don't know what kokeshi dolls are, Japanese dolls, originally from northern Japan. They are made out of wood and they were very simple in design. Traditional Kokeshi dolls had common characteristics that consisted of a basic cylindrical limbless body and a round head. They can also come in different shapes and height. Here are some examples of traditional Kokeshi dolls:

Sometime last year I made a wedding kokeshi couple for my friends who got engaged and will be getting married this year.

After that I started on the Sakura Family but I had to put them on hold.

Since then I have not made many more kokeshi dolls because I've been busy making jewelry. 2 weeks ago I got back into making these beautiful dolls and I made a birthday one for a very close friend. It said "The secret of staying young is to live honestly, eat slowly, and lie about your age."
