Welcome to the colourful world of the Kokeshi, a Japanese inspired French boutique brand that introduces children to a family to traditional Japanese dolls. The Kokeshi were once made from left over pieces of wood, with sculpted hair, and little rounded bodies. Over centuries Kokeshi dolls have been modernised and given colour. Creators have taken more liberties, giving the dolls personalities and beautiful clothing, all the while observing the one founding principle. They are part of a search for beauty and art through simplicity and purity of form. There are many types of Kimono, just as there are many types of Kokeshi, and while they all wear the same style clothing, they all add their very personal touch! Guess the hair styles your favourite Kokeshi has, and peep inside their apartments and see what they're doing on washing day! And what do Kokeshi wear in the bath? Nothing silly! But they do have lovely fluffy towels!
