Naruko Kokeshi – heritage

Kokeshi dolls are traditional Japanese works of art, each with its name and special significance At MARU, we propose Naruko kokeshi dolls crafted by master craftsman Akihiro Sakurai. He handpicks the wood from his personal forest, carefully dries it, and transforms it into a beautiful piece through turning and decorating. They are considered good luck charms and Naruko kokeshi dolls have been given as congratulatory gifts for births, marriages, graduations, and other milestones in life.
