Just in time for the holidays I'm listing lots of great dolls, kimonos and wigs! Maybe t's something for the Japanese culture fan in your life...Wow- this is a one of a kind treasure. This doll is not in perfect condition, but she has lots of charm. The tableau depicts a young geisha scurrying over a bridge in the rain, under a street lamp. Her face is painted silk and her real human hair is individucally rooted. T is some breakage happening in her hair, but she still has a thick hairstyle. Her silk kimono is wonderful and has a real shibori obi that shows the Japanese flag. Her feet have silk tabi and rain shoes -wonderful! She carried an umbrella made of real oiled paper, not silk like lesser dolls have. The lamp post is made of painted metal. T is plenty of minor soiling on the foll, but her face is clean except for one spot on her forehead. An amazing old doll! This set is very large (the lamp post is about 26 inches high and the doll is about 20 inches high), so shipping will be expensive -sorry! Shipping will be $30 domestic and $50 international. Thanks!
