Spotted Online – Zombukis at Etsy

According to this Wikipedia entry, kokeshi are: “Japanese dolls, originally from northern Japan. They are handmade from wood, have a simple trunk and an enlarged head with a few thin, painted lines to define the face.” Well, I don’t know anything more about this type of art toy except that Zombukis (website, Twitter) has several fun designs for sale over at Etsy.

Fantastically cute! And in addition to the customized kokeshi toys there are also blanks available for those of you who want to take a shot at customizing your own wooden toy. Check out the available kokeshi toys here.
