So I just stumbled upon the word **こけし** on
[Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CHtO3oBJqA4/). It was translated as
"ASMR" (youtube trend where people speak quietly and make all kinds of
"satisfying" noises). Is there anyone with enough knowledge (or guts to crawl
through SNS) to explain the etymology of the word?

My guess, after throwing 'ASMR こけし' into YT, is that it comes from the modern
version of the こけしdoll. Which seems to contain a jingle bell, as opposed to
the usual creaking of the doll's head when turned.

If I'm wrong and **こけし** doesn't mean 'ASMR', is there a word in Japanese that
does?

Note: I also presume that the cc is correct as the other few sentences were
translated accurately.
