History.
Following WWll Japanese artisans seized new manufacturing techniques to experiment beyond the traditional Kokeshi designs, and in doing so developed their own unique designs along more contemporary lines. The resulting ‘Creative’ Sosaku Kokeshi designs offer a wonderful alternative for folk art collectors across the world.
