Handmade & Handpainted Kokeshi Doll MANYO

eternity
Kokeshi dolls are beautiful handmade wooden dolls that originate from the northern region of Japan. Aside from their decorative qualities, many Japanese people believe having a kokeshi doll in their home will help prevent fires and ward off evil spirits.
This particular design is called MANYO, meaning “eternity” in Japanese. This is a majestic kokeshi doll (weighing nearly a kilogram, it may even last an eternity). The design is subtle, classy and brilliant. A strong and graceful and very original piece.
In Japanese MAN means “10,000 or myriad”. YO means “leaf”. The two words together mean eternity, a tree that lasts forever.
