The Little Kokeshi Yukiko Ryburn

Little Kokeshi was bored everyday standing on the shelf at the store.

One day, she lost her balance and fell off the shelf into the

box on the floor. After a while, the delivery truck came and picked up the box

that Kokeshi was in. Oh no! Where will Little Kokeshi go?

Little Kokeshi's adventure starts now!

dolls. They have various shapes and pattern and each one is made carefully by

craftsmen (Kojin) who have inherited the Kokeshi tradition, technique, and

culture.
