Description: Here is a vintage late 1960's "Nishi" silk-faced doll in near-perfect condition. Her delicately painted painted facial expression and elaborate "kanzahi" hair pins make her a real beauty. In a marketplace overflowing with this type of doll (painted silk vs gofun or porcelain) this geisha is a standout. She stands at 17" tall on a simple unfinished wood base. Her silk kimono is a vivid rich purple with a unique origami crane pattern. Her delicate silk-wrapped posable hands clutch a bouquet of Lavender flowers. A true collector's item in this category of doll making. NOTE: the wood and silk parasol has fallen apart from age and is NOT INCLUDED in the sale.
