I loved both kokeshi dolls and Russian nesting dolls when u was a kid. The simple forms and hand painting- they just always appealed to be from a craftsmanship stand point. Looking forward to more of these videos!
Happy u decided to go on with this subject, and btw nice research! Would like to see something maybe from our own backyard as well, like Raggedy Ann has a lot of history and also some dolls from Africa, they may be interesting.
Soooo excited to carve some of these from a beautiful fragrant branch of cedar I got from the hot spring beach in here in Hawaii. Ok litteraly wrote that before I heard it from the hot springs!!! So excited!
I recently heard about them toward the end of a Gaijin Goomba video about the cultural inspirations for Pokemon Legends Arceus, and I thought it actually looked fun; I dunno that I would have the skill to paint one but it would be interesting to try. So I thought I'd look up a couple videos on them. I wonder if you can buy unpainted ones the way you can unpainted ceramics? If you can, do you know if it's expensive to get into that kind of hobby?
