A Kokeshi doll has a special place in Japanese culture. First created in the Edo period (1600–1868), these figurines are known for their large head and simply designed body. Artist and designer Becky Kemp, aka Sketch.inc, has since modernized these types of dolls and transformed them into iconic people of art history like our favorite surrealist, Salvador Dali. The nearly 6” tall wooden toy features his signature swooping mustache and expressive brows. Display him on your desk to make your work environment a little more whimsical. He looks great next to Frida Kahlo!
