Product Description

Fabulous antique Japanese doll of a young woman.  This doll is in full kimono, and dates from the early to mid 1900s.  Her face and hands are made of gofun (paste made of crushed seashells and muc). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_traditional_dolls She is in good condition.  The kimono textile is a little faded, but there are no tears or stains.  Careful glazed painting on her eyes brings this doll to life.
