In the latter half of the Edo period, people called kijishi, who made wood sawn bowls and trays, began to make kokeshi as souvenirs for children. Traditional kokeshi are classified into 11 types, all of which are located in the Tohoku region, and are manufactured using patterns and techniques that are appropriate for each region. Kokeshi continues to be made by inheriting the pattern from the teacher to the apprentice, and its creator is called Kokeshi Kojin.
