A very special early 20th century version of the Japanese interpretation of
a Western doll, probably inspired by the Friendship Doll Exchange in 1929,
when the United States gifted Japan with several hundred western dolls. This
doll is very rare and a great find for the serious doll collector. She holds a
wonderful stylized dog and makes a charming impression along with her
great detailing. An important period piece. Doll Height: 20 inches, 51cm;
Case Dimensions: 27.5h x 11w x 9d inches, 70h x 28w x 23d cm.

Japanese Isho Ningyo of an Oiran, the most important Geisha of the Kyoto Geisha quarter. The book and movie 'Memoirs of a Geisha' is the story of an Oiran. This master work is truly a work of art to behold, and is by one of Japan's foremost doll makers, the late Ito Hisashige XI. The first Ito Hisashige was appointed to the position of Court Doll Maker by Emperor Gosakuramachi in 1767. This long unbroken line has continued in this position, making some of Japan's finest Ningyo for 12 generations. This fine example was made in the 1940s. We have never seen an Oiran bearing her breasts, one of the many beautiful aspects of this very special Geisha Ningyo. 14 inches (35.5 cm) tall with 14 x 12 (35.5 x 30.5 cm) base. Excellent Condition.
