Sosaku

Type: Kokeshi Subscription & Distribution

Senshukai (千趣会) began its Kokeshi Distribution Club in 1954, introducing an innovative monthly subscription service aimed primarily at working women in post-war Japan. Members received beautifully designed kokeshi dolls, making Japanese folk crafts accessible and affordable to everyday collectors. Officially established as a company in 1955, Senshukai played an important role in popularising creative kokeshi and pioneered a distribution model that helped shape Japan's modern mail-order culture.
