about Kogata

I started Kogata in 2007 as a line of handmade jewelry featuring mini kokeshi dolls.










It was sold exclusively at Kobo Gallery in Seattle, Washington.

I don't make the kokeshi jewelry any more, but I do like to search the Internet for Japanese-language sites that feature crafts -- cute, stylish, clever, traditional -- especially sites that have how-to directions and lots of pictures. I hope you will enjoy what I share with you.

EDIT (November 5, 2009): I just found out that some of my jewelry was displayed as part of the "Seattle Collects: 1,000 Kokeshi!" display for the 4th Annual Bunka no Hi ( 文化の日, Culture Day) at the Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Washington in Seattle!
