You might be thinking to yourself, what is a Japanese Kokeshi doll? Well, Momma Cat found out accidentally while she was looking for something else online. It turns out that a Kokeshi doll is made out of one piece of wood, turned on a lathe, then it's carved (it's arms and legs are not separate, they are suggested by the carving), and painted.
Momma Cat looked at a lot of them on the internet. Some are very tiny, some are large, some are very old, and some are very new. Some are made in China. Those Kokeshi dolls are not authentic, so don't be fooled!
Here's the one Momma Cat bought. She doesn't think it's very old, but she fell in love with the shape, the carving, and the colors.
This doll is about 6 inches tall, and except for the carving details, she is perfectly smooth and beautiful! Momma Cat loves her!
