Japanese antique interior doll “Geisha with Umbrella”. The doll is wearing a beautiful kimono made of kimono fabric, luxurious Kanzashi (hairpins) adorn her hair. Doll’s height: 40cm. The word “doll” does not quite accurately convey the meaning of the Japanese word “nihon-ningyo”, as the Japanese call their interior figures of beauties, samurai, geisha, and characters from Japanese history, made by true masters of art and intended purely for admiration. In Japan, there is a long-standing tradition of giving dolls depicting heroines of Japanese poetry and literature for the Hina Matsuri Doll Festival in March, and figures depicting samurai, heroes of ancient Japanese history – for the Gogatsu festival in May. These doll festivals have been celebrated in Japan for over 600 years. Dolls are also given as gifts for weddings, for those going on a long journey, and for other important occasions. For other countries, around 7 to 12 days. International Buyers- Please Note. We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as “gifts” – US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
