Welcome to the colourful world of the Kokeshi, a Japanese inspired French boutique brand that introduces children to a family to traditional Japanese dolls. The Kokeshi were once made from left over pieces of wood, with sculpted hair, and little rounded bodies. Over centuries, Kokeshi dolls have been modernised and given colour. Creators have taken more liberties, giving the dolls personalities and beautiful clothing, all the while observing the one founding principle. They are part of a search for beauty and art through simplicity and purity of form. Aoki is off to visit her friend Yoko, who lives in Tokyo and is one of the most kawaii (cute) of kokeshis! Learn all about the big city, while venturing with Aoki through a colourful and luxuriant urban landscape. The final page has beautiful, glow-in-the-dark elements which create a magical night time sky. Annelore Parot has created a world for her characters while honouring their Japanese heritage. All the books in the range have a distinctly positive feel, and encourage participation. With fun lift-the-flaps, cut outs and what-can-you-find elements to the story, these are perfect bedtime stories. Children will pore over the detailed drawings, finding something new with every reading.
