Kokeshi are traditional Japanese wooden dolls, first created in the Tohoku region over 150 years ago. Known for their simple cylindrical bodies and beautifully hand-painted designs, Kokeshi represent wishes for children’s health, happiness, and protection.
Immerse yourself in the spirit of spring through a variety of engaging activities that celebrate Japanese culture:
Kokeshi-themed Activities
Traditional Arts & Crafts
Hands-on Workshops
Live Performance
Interactive Exhibits
From creating your own Kokeshi-inspired art to admiring colorful koinobori (carp streamers) — symbols of hope, strength, and good fortune — every moment offers an opportunity to connect with the joyful essence of childhood and new beginnings.
Bring your family and friends and join us in celebrating the Spring of Hope — a season that inspires dreams, courage, and happiness.
