Kokeshi is celebrated today as one of Japan's folk arts and are of two types : Traditional and Creative.
Traditional Kokeshi : are very simple in design with round heads and cylindrical limbless bodies. The floral and linear patterns painted on their kimonos have been developed and passed down through generations of kokeshi makers and are distinctive to the area where they are made.
Creative Kokeshi : retain the limbless kokeshi characteristic and are more contemporary in their design with perhaps a more shapely body, added features such as hair, as well as colourful exquisitely patterned kimono. Creative kokeshi are created by artists and have features and styles unique to their own particular artist or creator.
Kokeshi are generally bought as souvenirs. They are ornamental and considered lucky charms for protecting homes against fire and are also birthday presents for children.
