Traditional Kokeshi Doll

When my family lived in Japan several years ago (my father was in the Air Force), my parents encouraged us to enjoy the culture of the area. The Japanese are rich with culture and tradition! We visited the Big Buddha, we attended ice festivals and salmon festivals and snow festivals and all sorts of festivals, we visited Tokyo, we ate Japanese foods in Japanese restaurants and from street vendors, and we basically had a wonderful time there. We also collected quite a few souvenirs. I have a scroll doll, a Morioka Horse, health balls, and this traditional Kokeshi doll. I chose her for my picture because she's so pretty, and I love all the intricate little details. My mom has an entire collection of these darling little dolls.
