Traditional shape has simple trunk and an enlarged head with a few thin, painted lines to define the face and there is no arms or legs.<br />
There is a eleven types of traditional kokeshi out there, they have a particular shape and patterns. <br />
But my kokeshi are not belonging to "traditional" they are a modern "creative" Kokeshi.<br />
<br />
I found a very small antique shop in Tokyo, when I saw the shop, like someone whispered to me "go check the shop!!" I parked my <span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">bicycle the from of the shop and WOW!!</span></span> There was a full of kokeshi dolls everywhere in the shop!!<br />
I picked few lovely kokeshi's for you☆ <span style="color: blue;"><b>These are one of a kind things, you will almost never find the same kokeshi like this!!</b></span><br />
I can't wait to go back to the shop and adopt more kokeshi dolls!!<br />

When I got some oranges, I always make "Orange pound cake". But I made orange pound cake so many times and it's getting board, still nice but I wanna try something different this time.<br />
When I googled, I found unusual recipe (in Japanese) that use whole orange! Normally it use just orange zest for this cake, but this one is not!! :D<br />
So here is how...<br />
<br />
<div style="color: purple;">
<b>** Whole Orange Chocolate Cake ** </b></div>
<span style="color: #ff6666; font-weight: bold;">Ingredients ( 1 loaf )</span><br />
170g Unsalted butter, softened to room temperature<br />
170g Sugar <br />
3 Eggs (lightly beaten) <br />
200g Flour<br />
2 tsp Baking powder<br />
85g Chocolate, cut into a small pieces or use chocolate chips<br />
2 Oranges (If it's not organic, wash well) <br />
<br />
<b style="color: #e06666;">Preparation </b><br />
<b> </b># Preheat oven to 170 ℃. (338 F)<br />
# Sift flour and baking powder together<br />
# Generously butter a loaf tin (or any other cake tin) or Line with non-stick baking paper and set it aside.<br />

#Prepare the oranges. Zest the orange then remove the skin, pith, membranes, and seeds of a citrus fruit and separate its wedges. ( check this page for how to cut the orange ... <a href="http://lifeflix.blogspot.com.au/2008/04/how-to-cut-orange-segments-supreme.html">http://lifeflix.blogspot.com.au/2008/04/how-to-cut-orange-segments-supreme.html</a>)<br />
Cut into 1/2 inch pieces. If you can get the juice from the scratch, keep it in the bowl.<br />
<br />
<b style="color: #ff6666;">Instructions</b><br />
1. In the bowl, beat the butter until smooth and creamy. Add sugar mix well. <br />
2. Add eggs little by little, mix well each times. Then add all oranges ( zest, fruits, juice) and chocolate chips. <br />
3. With wooden spoon, fold the flour into the mixture. Don't over mix!<br />
4. Pour over the loaf tin, bake around 40 min <span class="rec">or until </span>a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.<span class="rec"> Cool on wire racks.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="rec">Good luck☆</span><br />

Everyone's favorite! </div>
<div style="color: black;">
I think Japanese pancake is a more thick and fluffy. Very easy just try it! </div>
<div style="color: black;">
You can add more milk if the mix is too thick or you want to stretch it further.</div>
<div style="color: black;">
Great served with fruit and cream or maple syrup and jam♥ </div>
