Ganwuan Kokeshi-ya is a workshop of Sendai Kokeshi dolls (Sakunami type, commonly known as Enakichi). The kokeshi are characterized by their simple and modern design, painted in only two colors, red and black, on a narrow wooden base. Experience the rich modern individuality that has been passed down from generation to generation.

There are many unique kokeshis in the store!

While preserving the traditional Sendai kokeshi, the shop also produces kokeshis that look cute with a wealth of ideas, such as unique Halloween kokeshis and Ichigo-chan dolls with strawberry headdresses. The workshop is filled with works that make you want to display them in your room. The size and expressions of these kokeshis are very cute and recommended as souvenirs.

Popular kokeshi dolls are sometimes sold out on the day they go on sale!

Would you like to try Kokeshi doll painting?

Ganwu-an Kokeshi-ya also offers Kokeshi painting as a craft experience. Here, a space is provided where about 15 people can paint at the same time. You can choose one from a variety of molds and sizes of white wooden bases to make your own original kokeshi doll. You can take it home on the same day after it is lacquered.
