I have been collecting these little wooden dolls for years. They are not often easy to find and I have to actually FIND them, I don't go on ebay looking for them...
I found two this week and though they are newer and not vintage like my others, I simply fell in love the dragon fly one so had to get them both!
here is some info about Kokeshi!

I checked out the wikipedia site and was surprised to learn of something I had never heard of. I can see why your attracted to them, they are very crafty and the history was very interesting. Thanks for sharing this unique collection.
