Japanese Kokeshi dolls are handmade from wood, have a simple trunk and head with painted lines to define the face. These dolls were originally made during the middle of the Edo period (1600-1868).\n
To celebrate this ancient craft, Becky Kemp of Sketch.Inc has created a collection of Kokeshi dolls modeled after famous characters. She opted to retain the doll\u2019s main characteristics when creating her modern version of Kokeshi \u2013 including an oversized head, stylized face and straightforward silhouette.\n
The wooden dolls are almost 6 inches tall, perfect for any setting, from office desk to a dollhouse. To know more about Kemp\u2019s creations, you may check her Instagram account.\n
