The Tokyo Kokeshi dolls have become a popular souvenir. They are best recognized for their signature necklace or shiawase-no-wa (translated as a “happy ring”). The dolls are carved out of a single piece of square timber. After watching the skilled techniques of the master artisans up close, you get to draw a pretty face and paint a pattern to make it your own.
