Set of 4 hand carved rubber stamp
antique style Kokeshi Dolls.
I had so much fun drawing these, let alone carving them. Being able to use them is
something that I look forward to, but being able to hold these little rubber stamp carvings
in my hand and study them after carving is
an added benefit. It seems to have been done by someone else once the stamp has been carved.
They each have a unique personality and
represent different provinces
in Japan. It is so amazing how many
doll styles there are in Japans Kokeshi history !
Here is a link that tells more about the history of Kokeshi's that a friend of mine in Singapore shared with me:
