Ideas behind the design

So i moved on from my original 'shelf collection' to geisha dolls and fans of the oriental variety. I made this choice as the original idea had no link or story behind it. There was no real meaning for the viewer to see. I changed it for the better, as the 'Japanese' Theme looks quite beautiful. I love it!
 I researched the dolls online. They are really called kokeshi dolls.

They were originally created as gifts and toys for children. In recent times, Kokeshi dolls have become purely ornamental and decorative. I want to focus on Ornamental for this project.
