USABURO KOKESHI (卯三郎こけし)

Usaburo Kokeshi is located in the nature-rich village of Shinto in Gunma Prefecture. All the woods used for Kokeshi dolls are collected from the mountains of Gunma. The use of mature trees encourages the regeneration of the forest and plays a part in the cycle of maintaining the green village. Kokeshi dolls are the rebirth of the forest. They are a gift from nature.

The carving, the layered baking lines, the blurring and shading, the gentle eyes. The techniques of kokeshi doll making inherited from previous generations gently depict the simple beauty of the Japanese people. Kokeshi is a craft of technique. While weaving together tradition and newness, we give life to the wood.

Pokémon Scarlet & Pokémon Violet Video Games

Developed by GAME FREAK inc., Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet take a new evolutionary step in the Pokémon main series. Trainers can explore an open world where various towns with no borders blend seamlessly into the wilderness.

A New Pokémon Revealed: Cyclizar​
Cyclizar has lived in many households in the Paldea region since ancient times. It has a mild disposition, and people riding Cyclizar are a very common sight. It appears Cyclizar don't mind being ridden because the warmth of a rider helps stave off the cold.


Category: Mount Pokémon​
Type: Dragon/Normal​
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 138.9 lbs.
Ability: Shed Skin

Battle with Pokémon Trainers from All over the World in the Battle Stadium
Ranked Battles, which players have had the chance to enjoy in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, will be returning in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. Players will also be able to take on battles in modes like Casual Battles and Online Competitions as well.

Master Using the Terastal Phenomenon in Battle
Terastallizing is a phenomenon in the Paldea region that makes Pokémon shine and glimmer like gems. The primary feature of Terastallizing in battle is that it changes a Pokémon’s type to its Tera Type. Pokémon don’t outwardly show what their Tera Type is until they Terastallize—a fact that players can use to take opponents by surprise in battle.

Tera Blast is a Normal-type move that can be learned with a TM. When used by a Terastallized Pokémon, it becomes a move of the same type as the Pokémon’s Tera Type. Tera Blast inflicts damage using the Attack or Sp. Atk stat—whichever is higher for the user.​

Introducing New Held Items
Mirror Herb​ - This herb will allow the holder to mirror an opponent’s stat increases and boost its own stats–but only once.
Covert Cloak​ - This hooded cloak conceals the holder, protecting it from the additional effects of moves.
Loaded Dice​ - If a Pokémon holding this item uses a multistrike move, that move will be more likely to hit more times.
