My Newest Kokeshi Doll

Welcome to my blog!  Creating a blog is a totally new venture for me so I hope you enjoy the ride along with me.  For my very first entry, I'd like to show my most recent creation.  This Kokeshi was commissioned for the Owner/Black Belt Master of three Japanese Martial Arts studios here in the Okanogan.  He wares the outfit of a 16th century Samurai Warrior going to court to visit the Emperor.  The research alone took a fair bit of time for this doll.  I feel very honored to have been asked to make such doll for such an accomplished Master.  If the Gentleman that received this doll permits, I'll be adding more photos to further show the workmanship on his doll.

Kokeshi dolls are my passion and making each one totally customized and one-of-a-kind excites me every time.  Over the next while I will try to post some of the dolls I've made in the last few years that I feel reflect my work well and are my personal favorites.  I make my dolls to sell and love doing custom orders.  If you see anything here that you'd like, contact me and I'll let you know if I still have that exact doll or not, and if not??? Then Custom Kokeshi Doll here we come!  Hope you enjoy my budding new blog!
