Kokeshi Bobblehead Ceramic Doll

KOKESHI BOBBLEHEAD CERAMIC/WOOD DOLL

This charming Kokeshi-style bobblehead doll draws inspiration from traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The piece features a delightful figure of a girl holding an uchiwa fan, dressed in a floral blue and mauve outfit with a red hair bow and softly blushed cheeks — details that give her a serene and graceful appearance.

The doll has a beautifully smooth, porcelain-like finish and a wooden-feel head, giving the impression of mixed materials. While these dolls are traditionally Japanese in origin, we are not experts in determining the exact composition or place of manufacture of this specific piece. To us, it feels ceramic and wood, though it may be made from another material with a similar look and texture.

A lovely decorative collectible that captures the timeless charm and calm spirit associated with Kokeshi-style dolls.

Japanese Fans - Japanese paper fans are sometimes known as (harisen), made of paper on a bamboo frame, usually with a design painted on them. In addition to folding fans called (ōgi) - the non-bending fans are called (uchiwa).

The woods used for kokeshi vary, with cherry used for its darkness and dogwood for its softer qualities.
Itaya-kaede, a Japanese maple, is also used in the creation of both traditional and creative dolls.
The wood is left outdoors to season for one to five years before it can be used.

Bobblehead - also known as a nodder, wobbler or bobble head, is a type of collectible toy. Its head is often oversized compared to its body. Instead of a solid connection, its head is connected to the body by a spring or hook in such a way that a light tap will cause the head to bobble, hence the name.
