The match characters are designed to produce a smile

We're not sure we'd like to strike these little guys! Combining cute characters, bright colours and inspirational illustrations, Kokeshi Matches is a new breed of match branding. Taking inspiration from Kokeshi (traditional Japanese wooden dolls), faces were drawn on each match by hand by artist Kumi Hirasaka.
