津軽こけし館
This facility brings together 11 types of traditional kokeshi dolls, which have been made mainly in the Tohoku region since the late Edo period. It is said that kokeshi dolls were first created when woodworkers who made bowls and other items began making wooden dolls with painted faces and patterns as souvenirs for children to sell to visitors to hot springs. The charm of kokeshi dolls, infused with new life into inherited designs, continues to captivate visitors.
