Styling Tips

They look stunning practically anywhere in the home - either as single pieces or displayed in a cluster. They also create a real talking point - especially when you read more about the history/story behind Kokeshi dolls! (more info below).

Kokeshi Dolls
Kokeshi dolls were said to be guardians of children and keepers of their souls, watching over the children as they grew up. There are varying stories relating to their origin and purpose - some say they were given by talisman to ensure the healthy birth of a new child, others say they were given out to school children as reward dolls by teachers. However, others say they were given to mark the death of a child due to illness, miscarriage or famine - and that the soul of the child remains in the doll. We are not sure which we believe, but one thing we do know, is we love them and we've kept two for ourselves!
