Japanese Gosho Ningyō with Samurai Attire,
Signed by the 10th Generation Ningyo Artist Rozon. This master work is the results of ten generations and three centuries of ningyo artists. Unfortunately, it
seems it is the end of the line for this studio. The children are not
interested in continuing, which we think is sad. This Gosho is one of the most
amazing examples of 20th century Japanese art. It features so many wonderful
examples of great Japanese art forms. The face is just beautiful with inset
eyes and fine gofun finish. 25h x 19w inches, 63.5h x 48w cm.
