Searching all of Japan for handcrafted items that express its heart and soul, our proprietor, KASHIYUKA, presents things that bring a bit of luxury to everyday life. Her pursuit this time took her to a hot spring town in Miyagi prefecture and an encounter with Sendai Kokeshi, a simple, traditional toy, lathed from local wood and hand-painted.

  • The Sakunami-style Sendai Kokeshi figurine was first created toward the end of the 19th century, Japan’s late Edo period. Mr. Akira Suzuki’s studio and shop, Ganguan Kokeshiya, is located in Aiku Osenkyō, a small village built around the local onsen, or hot spring. It’s one of the three historically famous hot springs in Oshū province. The kokeshi doll shown here is 12 cm in height. “So small, yet so expressive,” says KASHIYUKA.
  • Purchase No. 39【Sendai Kokeshi】Primitive, charming — a most traditional toy, born in Tohoku.
  • “It’s so precious, how each one bears its own sort of facial expression,” says KASHIYUKA. Some of those in the uppermost tier date to the Showa period (1926-89).
