Kokeshi Dolls:Jean Lockwood
Kazumi, I finally got smart. I realized that I could do a
search on the internet and could probably find pictures of
those dolls. So I did, and you are right, they are utterly
charming.
I saw two types--one had a realistic head, on a tall slender base; t
the other type was shorter, and more closely resembled a
standard doll. The ones I saw pictures of were beautiful. I
am not surprised that you enjoy your collection.
You know, when I lived in California we also had earthquakes.
I had some lovely Royal Doulton figurines that I was afraid
would get broken, so I found some double-stick stuff (it was
about 1/4" thick, and sticky on both sides). I cut small
strips of that and put the tape on the shelf, and the figurines
on the tape. Nothing ever got broken.
