The image shows two vintage
Japanese Kokeshi dolls. Kokeshi dolls are traditional Japanese wooden dolls, characterized by a simple body and an enlarged head, with minimal painted details. These dolls are often given as gifts, symbolizing friendship or good luck. The dolls in the image are likely vintage due to their aged appearance and the style of carving and painting. The text on the dolls reads "iSl < SUIt!" (iroha kuroika), which translates to "roha black squid." This could be a maker's mark, a shop name, or a playful inscription. Kokeshi dolls have a long history in Japan, originating in the Tohoku region during the Edo period
(1600-1868). They were initially made by woodworkers as toys for children, and later evolved into decorative and collectible items.
