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

Satomi is a large, amazingly beautiful piece from Lisa and Jacob Hodsdon! The wood is Sapele. I placed her on a Sapele plate I have and she took a special place on my favorite Asian decorative chest I have enjoyed for many years! The gold highlights seem to shimmer in the sunlight and I could gaze at Satomi all day long. I’m positively mesmerized by this awesome art treasure. Thank you, Naomi Gallery, for providing my family and me such delight!
