Blogging is a wonderful tool for examining trends and responding with speed to the market! Consumer generated media!

A couple of days ago I published a post on the Kokeshi doll – a traditional wooden Japanese doll. There was a strong response to the post and an overwhelming request for more information on where to buy the Star Wars Kokeshi.

With the huge interest in these Kokeshi Dolls I was contacted by the designer and e-shop manager of Temple7e to ask if I could direct Kimonobox followers to the Kokeshi Shop online. No problem at all – here it is with a brilliant variety of creative designs.
