"Kokeshi dolls have been a Japanese cultural institution for over two
centuries. Giving and receiving Kokeshi dolls dates back to the Edo
period (1603-1867) in Japan. Kokeshi dolls were handcrafted by woodwork
artisans of the time known as Kijiya, (which means woodworker in
Japanese) to be given away as tokens of love and friendship. Kokeshi
dolls were given as gifts to newborn children as a lucky charm to bestow
good wishes for a healthy child.
It is this philosophy of bestowing luck and good fortune upon friends and family that is behind the creation of the Kimmidoll® brand. Kimmidolls are contemporary collectible dolls combining a fusion of traditional and modern creative sensibility."
