| An antique Japanese doll depicting a traveling commoner and dating to the Edo period (1615-1868). A rare and unusual subject for a Japanese doll. Wearing a striped kimono and matching obi of typical Edo period material. His hair is silk and tied up in period fashion. His face and hands are gofun (crushed oyster shell) over wood with glass eyes. He carries a bundle over his shoulder wrapped in traditional fashion. Dimensions: 12" x 5" x 6". Overall condition is good considering age. An interesting doll for period historical reference. | ||
