Traditional Kokeshi dolls have ancient origins, dating back approximately 300 years to northern Japan during the mid-Edo period. Made by artisans skilled in woodworking, these dolls were initially created to be sold to visitors to the region's hot springs. Traditional Kokeshi are characterized by a cylindrical and thin body with a round head, both carved and painted by hand with floral motifs and delicate lines to represent the face.

In the 1940s, Kokeshi craftsmanship experienced a phase of evolution, thanks to the work of Usaburo Okamoto, founder of Usaburo Kokeshi in Gunma Prefecture. Since 1950 he has innovated this art by introducing new styles, freer shapes and a greater variety of colors, thus modernizing the tradition without ever losing the connection with the cultural roots.
