This is a tamairi-rolling ejiko, by SATO Koichi who is a Yajiro style kokeshi craftsman.

Ejiko is one of the names for cradle in Japanese, which was used while parents were farm working in a rural area. Tamairi means ‘rolling’ in Japanese. Because of the rolling structure, the baby can move and turn around in her cradle.

The tree bark on the ejiko gives a natural taste to the wooden doll.

Due to age, this kokeshi has dents.
