Google translates one word as “Sendai”. Tall black top-knot, cone-shaped. Brown & Tan Wood. Weighs about 8.5 oz. These came from the aunt of my friend. The aunt was a missionary overseas and died in 1978. She was in Pusan and Seoul much of my friend’s childhood, so a good guess is that these are from some time in the late 60’s until 1978. For a fun story about the aunt, when one of the huge underground tunnels from the North was discovered and the families of the servicemen were evacuated stateside, she and a chaplain chose to remain to do what they could in case of an invasion. This is all the known history of them. Check out other cute Kokeshi dolls I’m listing! Check out my feedback! Smoke-free and pet-free home. Given time I will leave you feedback too!
