They look like fun! what does "Kokeshi" mean? are they Japanese or something?

mooshoo said...

yep its japanese .. not sure where the name originated. but they used to be old wooden handpainted dolls.

Kokeshi refers to Japanese dolls so I'm kinda shocked when I found out about KOKESHI Dancers. they're not really dancers but some sort of bath soap.

I looked at your Etsy store and don't see these. I would like to purchase one. Where can I find them?

KAY LETOURNEAU: the first few i listed in my shop sold fairly quickly... i now normally make them for gallery & magazine submissios. however if you would like one you can order one via mooshoo :) just contact me on etsy or at mooshoo.me@gmail.com
