Miyagi bookends set

This unique Japanese bookend set, poised with two Kokeshi dolls has a playful modern design. Kokeshi are wooden dolls of folk craft that originate from the Tōhoku region of north-eastern of Japan. They are characterised by their elongated minimal body and delicate hand-painted features.

The world’s largest collection of kokeshi is held in Miyagi Zao Kokeshi Doll Museum in Japan. 

Note : These specially crafted bookends have been antiquated by hand painting in uneven and fluid strokes, lending a vintage appearance and a timeworn charm to the set.
