The Haragawara Kokeshi Group Nishida Memorial Museum in Fukushima City is a place where the culture of Tohoku thrives. The kokeshi dolls, with their diverse colors and patterns numbering around 10,000, are works of art that reflect regional traditions. Through the exhibition, which is deeply explored from the perspective of the curator, you can fully appreciate the charm of kokeshi. Of particular note is the valuable collection of over 3,000 kokeshi dolls collected by Mr. Nishida. Among them, the Tsuchiyu kokeshi with a slim body and striped pattern is a must-see.
