Amazing! Evident his years as a craftsman! I love folk art.

These little dolls are amazing. Especially the little necklace bit.

A total master of his tools and the process.

I am so jealous of witnessing that creation!

Kokeshi dolls are amazing, and come in so many shapes and sizes! Mr Okura's dolls are unique! ~Janet in Canada

Absolutely astounding.

I was in Tokyo April 2017 but didn't have time to try and find his shop, wasn't sure if it was going to be there. This is great! Do you know where one could purchase one of these dolls?

It was not easy to find his place. I think if you Google his name you may be able to buy one of his dolls.

It must be more difficult making those dolls on a ship on a rolling sea like your video was done on. Did you get seasick? I sure did.
