Vintage Japanese Large Geisha Doll w/Shamisen in Glass Case, 17.5 in.

Description

SELLING MY ENTIRE COLLECTION OF VINTAGE JAPANESE DOLLS/COLLECTIBLES,
mostly acquired during a mid-century childhood in Japan, a few in the 1990s.  Many dolls made in the 1950s/1960s were meticulously designed and handmade by Japanese artisans, with details like glass eyes and hand-painted faces, hands and feet, as well as luxurious traditional clothing fabric such as silk and brocade.  Some of these details were also incorporated into dolls made in the 1990s.
Virtually all listed dolls in my collection are in excellent, very good or good condition, especially considering their age.  From a smoke-free home.
