This beautiful 12-inch Japanese porcelain doll is an authentic Ichimatsu-style doll, traditionally given as a gift to symbolize friendship and good fortune. It was gifted to my friend by her mother, who was of Japanese origin, and has been lovingly preserved for over 30 years. The doll is dressed in an elegant traditional kimono with intricate patterns and an obi sash tied in the back.
Her face is delicately painted, and her hair is styled in a traditional Japanese fashion. The head, hands, and feet are porcelain, while the body appears to be soft and cloth-filled. Material: Porcelain head, hands, and feet; cloth body. Clothing: Traditional Japanese kimono (possible silk), obi belt. Condition: Excellent vintage condition - no chips, cracks, or stains. Display piece only; not intended for play. This doll is perfect for collectors of Asian art, traditional Japanese dolls, or vintage cultural decor. She would also make a thoughtful gift or display item in a tea room, classroom, or cultural center. From a smoke- free home.
