Japan Kokeshi Museum, Traditional doll museum in Naruko Onsen, Japan.
The Japan Kokeshi Museum maintains a collection of five thousand wooden dolls, representing different regional styles and manufacturing techniques from across Japan.
The museum houses artifacts from the Edo period when kokeshi dolls transformed from children's toys to valued artistic pieces in Japanese society.
Local craftsmen demonstrate the creation process of kokeshi dolls daily, using traditional lathes to shape maple and dogwood into distinctive wooden figures.
Visitors can participate in doll painting workshops and purchase authentic kokeshi dolls directly from the museum shop, with international shipping available.
The museum collection includes rare pieces donated by Mr. Kaname Fuzakawa, who dedicated his life to documenting Japanese kokeshi manufacturing techniques.
