EJIKO:

These dolls are named after a basket for carrying a baby, that Japanese farmers used take them to the field while they were working. This kokeshi doll is a representation of a baby in a basket. This style developed into a whole new type of Kokeshi, became a unique style of its own, and is now called EJIKO Kokeshi. Some Ejiko are hollow; carved inside with the upper part of the doll (from neck up) serving as a lid. These are Ejiko that can also be used as containers. They are collected both by Nesting Doll collectors and Japanese Kokeshi collectors.
