This large-sized, 9.4 inch Yasuo Okazaki Naruko kokeshi doll is the perfect decorative item for your home, entrance, or children's room! 

The doll is a traditional craft that consists of a cylindrical body, a round head, and a chrysanthemum pattern. It boasts a history dating back to the Edo period (c. 1603-1867), and has been beloved as a children's toy for more than 200 years.

Naruko kokeshi dolls are originally from the Tohoku (northeastern) region of Japan. They are famous for the squeaking sound their heads make when turned, which is a result of a unique method in which the head is inserted into the torso.
