Come to Teen Manga Club, Wednesday May 5 and make your very own paper Kokeshi doll. Manga Club meets at 3pm in the Program Room. We will have snacks, watch anime and talk about our upcoming Anime Night.
Kokeshi are Japanese dolls, originally from northern Japan. They are handmade from wood, have a simple trunk and an enlarged head with a few thin, painted lines to define the face. The body has a floral design painted in red, black, and sometimes yellow, and covered with a layer of wax. One characteristic of kokeshi dolls is their lack of arms or legs. The bottom is marked with the signature of the artist.
