Kokeshi Doll Pin Cushion
$7 Flat Rate Shipping in the U.S.
Kokeshi are traditional wooden dolls from northern Japan; typically without arms or legs, but with whimsical hand-painted faces and bobbed hair. While they can be used as toys, they are also symbols of good luck and fortune.
Cohana collaborated with the Tsugaru Kokeshi Museum to develop this modern, functional twist on the traditional Kokeshi doll.
The dolls kept the traditional sleek shape and bobbed hair of the kokeshi, interpreted in Cohana's signature colors: yellow, pink, green and blue. Each doll opens to reveal a hidden pincushion and comes with three quality needles from Meboso Hachirobei Shoten. Best yet, the doll's base is magnetic to easily pick up fallen pins and needles.

Our Process
Purpose in Repurposing
Everything I make at m.a.b.e.l takes time. I find and like to work with pre-1950s quilts because of their natural fibers and their designs that are so old they’re modern again. I work slowly to appreciate all the handwork and decisions that once created them. Every quilt is beautifully unique, and I love making it shine.
Out with the old...
At m.a.b.e.l, everything old can be new again. Send me your used m.a.b.e.l coat or popover (it’ll be repurposed once again!) and I'll give you a discount on your next one!
