Twice I convey traveled to the Tohoku portion of Nippon in addition to it is definitely a favorite of mine. While inwards the north, I began to get together kokeshi in addition to formed a pocket-sized collection of the folk fine art at domicile inwards the US. 
On a recent trip to Shimane Prefecture in addition to beyond I was accompanied yesteryear iii of my kokeshi. Long, long ago, inwards a world academy far, far away, I earned degrees inwards art, amongst a concentration inwards creative photography. The kokeshi inspired me to exercise a serial of xv photographs which I sincerely promise look creative. Upon completion of the set, I idea perchance I could supply amongst the kokeshi to their native province in addition to effort to capture a few interesting/strange/different kinds of images. The grab was that I had to shoot them on the quick, because I was uncomfortable drawing attending to myself in addition to my daughter; therefore, forethought was non a large business office of the equation. I'd clitoris out a kokeshi or 2 (or sometimes inadvertently, a tube of chapstick) in addition to get down taking pictures. All was good until ane level inwards the hotel room when I dumped out the contents of my bag. There were exclusively 2 kokeshi instead of three. The niggling kokeshi was missing. 
I wasn't upset precisely wondered how in addition to where I had lost her. We had final seen her on the grounds of Izushi Castle inwards Toyooka City, Hyogo Prefecture. My missy the author couldn't resist creating a scenario: "According to the Kijiyama sisters, the niggling kokeshi is immature in addition to naive, in addition to she doesn't sympathize the ways of the world. Little K-chan volition endure a pitiful fate, in addition to never abide by her agency dorsum to the Tohoku. It cannot endure helped." But this is what I think: "If y'all take in Izushi Castle, I'll bet you'll abide by the niggling kokeshi propped upwards on a bench in addition to waiting patiently to endure found. Doesn't that seem right?"
