Hodsdon Kokeshi Dolls, from tree to finished doll.
We entered this path with wanting to work together, share in the Japanese heritage and share our story.
We believe that There is a need and always room for traditional folk art in today's modern times, it creates a more inspired , vibrant and engaged society.
For us there are so many efforts to sustain and support wood art and Kokeshi tradition and culture.
Our approach is simply to work with our hands and the raw materials to create a little Kokeshi personality with beautiful woods

Kokeshi are believed to bring prosperity,peace and a sense of safety to the houses that they occupy

Moto is made from spalted Apple wood. Not knowing what that was, I found articles on the internet that described maple and blonder woods entering early stages of decay from fungus. Spalted woods are highly desirable to woodworkers like Jacob Hodsdon because of the dark lines, spots and other characteristics left. Moto has very pronounced patterning, making her quite outstanding looking! Lisa added subtle enhancements with a bit of gold and brown hues. Moto is a lovely, unique Japanese Kokeshi doll!
