NOTES: There is a famous folk craft paper mache doll called a Hakota Doll or "naive country girl" in Japan. You can google images "Hakota doll" and see examples. This kokeshi is made exactly like that doll.

Hakota is a regional term. This doll is entitled Oboko-museme which means naive girl.

Items that combine folk crafts are among my very favorites. I love this doll!!
