    📚 About Omiyage Kokeshi
    So-called "omiyage" kokeshi were widely produced between 1950 and 1970, a period when Japanese domestic tourism was booming. These dolls were sold in iconic locations as souvenirs, often depicting local landscapes. Here, the painted waterfall recalls the Kegon, Ryūzu, or Yutaki falls, highly visited natural wonders of Nikkō.
