Kokeshi figures were originally produced and sold in northern Japanese villages as souvenirs to the areas' hot springs. Designs varied, but each kokeshi doll had a round head and a limbless cylindrical body made of turned wood. The illustrations on this eraser are "sosaku" (creative) kokeshi, and they evoke the spirit of traditional kokeshi figurines.
